    Can we go over the android SDK in the next episode? They put in new gui templates, performance tools, etc. They even defaulted to the adding the boilerplate option/preference code (upon first glance)! OMG!

    BTW, the Jupiter Broadcasting XBMC addon is open source at https://github.com/RobLoach/plugin.video.jupiterbroadcasting . After your mention of MIT vs GPL vs BSD/etc, I’m considering switching to MIT.

    Would be great to have a show about all the open source licenses and why they’re important!

    @9d41adfe7005ed117166aeda7e78303d:disqus sorry for taking so long to look at this. If you recall the end of last episode, you’ll remember that Monday is going to be about the Cloud. However, we will definitely circle back to Android soon; I’ve updated my tool chain and am working with the new tools at the moment. 

    Additionally, I plan to be blogging about the new tools on my site http://blog.mdominick.com/), so you might take a look there. 

    Thanks for the feedback!

    @RobLoach:disqus Sounds like a good idea.
