It was originally hosted by Leo Laporte; his cohost for the first seventeen episodes was Chris DiBona and subsequently Randal Schwartz. In May 2010, Schwartz took over the lead host position, freeing up Laporte for other opportunities. Many influential people from the free and open source community have appeared on the show, including Kent Beck, Ward Cunningham, Miguel de Icaza, Rasmus Lerdorf, Tim O'Reilly,〔("CNET reporting on Tim O'Reilly Interview" ) news.cent.com, Last verified 2010-01-22〕 Guido van Rossum, Linus Torvalds, and Jimmy Wales.

FLOSS is an acronym for Free/Libre Open Source Software. The show was intended to be a weekly interview with the biggest names and influences in open source software. Episode one of ''FLOSS Weekly'' appeared on April 7, 2006. Towards the end of 2006, episodes began to appear less frequently, dropping to a monthly basis. DiBona's newborn baby and commitments at Google were cited as reasons for the show's stagnation, and on the seventeenth episode, Laporte appealed for other co-hosts to share the burden. This was DiBona's final appearance on the show as the host. He returned as a guest for the show's 100th episode. The show went on an unannounced three-month hiatus, re-appearing on July 21, 2007, with a new co-host, Randal Schwartz, who had previously appeared on the show as a guest. Schwartz has since taken over organizing guests for the show, and has restored the show to a predominantly weekly schedule (with occasional gaps from scheduling conflicts or last minute cancellations). Starting with episode 69, Jono Bacon was a somewhat regular co-host, even filling in for Randal when Randal wasn't available. The show was nominated for the 2009 Podcast Awards in the Technology/Science category.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 2009 Podcast Awards )〕 In May 2010, the show began publishing a video feed (along with many of the rest of the TWiT network shows), and moved to an earlier recording time. As a result of the new recording time, Leo Laporte stepped down as the lead host, and Jono Bacon could no longer regularly co-host. Randal Schwartz is supported by a rotating panel of co-hosts, selected on the basis of availability and appropriateness for the guest. The list includes Guillermo Amaral, Gareth Greenaway, Dan Lynch, (Aaron Newcomb ) and Simon Phipps and has previously included Joe Brockmeier and Randi Harper. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FLOSS Weekly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
