To become a veteran you have to become a newbie first. When we put
LinuxMusicians.com on air, we got the same replies. But I think
LinuxMusicians.com has proven to be a nice starting platform for
newbies who explore the possibilities of Linuxaudio. For some it's a
nice pre-step for the LAU mailinglist.<br>

I think we could do both. Helping newbies and turning people into
veteran linuxaudio guys. But both aims needs a different approach.<br></div></blockquote><div><br> True, and I'm all in for making the learning curve less steep, but rebranding things with names that are unassociated with them is IMO totally the wrong way to go.<br>
<br>Don't hit people getting intrested with all the terminology, only use words that they will probably understand, I get it. But calling it something that its not *just so people will like it* is plain silly IMO.<br>
