[Consortium] Linuxaudio.org update and next steps--call for community input and participation

[Ico Bukvic]

Thank you, Fons. I think you would be a great addition to such a committee.
The issues you speak of are something that the committee will want to
clarify, so perhaps joining first to help steer the conversation may not be
a bad idea.

best,

Ico
