    What would you do if you owned Lunduke for one hour?

    (Ok. Not "owned". But... a video chat. And you can do whatever you want with the recording of it. That's kinda similar... right?)

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Earlier today, we set a highly ambitious goal: to hit all of The Lunduke Journals subscriber and revenue goals for the entire month of May in one day
    .

    A crazy goal, I know. But we actually did pretty well! A few hours of live streaming later and WHAM-O! were over 55% of the way there! Not too shabby!

    Huge thank you to all of you who hung out and supported the work I do today. Couldnt do any of this without you nerds! About the One Hour Video Chat

    While chatting on todays live streams, a thought struck me:

    Theres one fancy-pants perk of subscribing to The Lunduke Journal that we havent really spent time talking (or thinking) about: The Video Chat with Lunduke for One Hour perk.

    That perk was put in the top tier of the Founding Member subscription option and, without really thinking about it, I set the price at $500. Why was that amount chosen? Because it is a big round number. That is, quite literally, the entire thought process behind it.

    First off that price is just too darn high . Im dropping it down to $300. Far more reasonable. It wont drop any lower than that (for oh-so-many reasons). But, at $300, it becomes a reasonable (if a bit extravagant) thing to do.

    Which begs the question what would you do if you had a one hour video chat (with Lunduke) where you own the full rights to the resulting video
    recording?

    I dont expect many people to jump at this. It is a premium thing, after all.
    But I can think of some highly amusing ways to use the time. (And a few practical and productive ways as well.)

    Heres some ideas that I (and a few Lunduke Journal subscribers) came up with for how to use a one hour video chat:

    Have Lunduke troubleshoot your Xorg configuration (and likely fail, but tell dad jokes along the way).

    Interview Lunduke for your YouTube Channel.

    Have Lunduke come up with a marketing campaign for your new software project (put that open source marketing executive experience to good use).

    Give Lunduke something to read. He reads real good-like.

    Talk about obscure computing platforms. Or maybe the meaning of life.
    (Trick question theyre the same thing.)

    Tell each other dad jokes. For a solid hour.

    Get advice on running a publication or podcast.

    Have Lunduke code review the work of your team (mostly by using dad jokes).

    Linux user therapy session (tell Lunduke what that mean old operating system did and how it made you sad).

    Force Lunduke to say nice things about Gentoo. For an entire hour.

    Just some ideas. Please. Nobody ask me to do #10.

    One important rule to keep in mind: I keep things family friendly. No exceptions. If you want to do it, heres how:

    On Substack:

    Go to the Lunduke.Substack.com subscription page . Select Founding Member
    and enter $300 in the field. If you dont want to renew at that rate next year, be sure to come back and modify the subscription amount.

    On Locals:

    Go to the Lunduke.Locals.com support page . Select Give Once and enter the amount.

    Note : If you would like to do this some other way (such as a combination of the different platforms and options ), feel free to just reach out to me. Im pretty easy going.
