Maybe you  could do a CfM  (Call for Music) on users at lists.agnula.org,
if you haven't already  - there are a number  of people there that are
doing   experimentations with  doing  music  with  GNU/Linux and  Free
Software (not necessarily with A/DeMuDi, actually :).

What is the technical contact actually going to bring?  I mean, are
they willing to lend an x86_64 machine for testing or are they just
answering questions (which is actually fine, btw :) ?

Thanks again,
