+++ AGNULA Libre Music officially launched

The AGNULA IST-Project [0] is proud, after two months of feedback from
our beta-testers and hacking, to officially announce the launch of the
"Libre Music" (aka the "muzik" project).

The AGNULA IST-Project [0] is proud, after two months of feedback from
our beta-testers and hacking, to officially announce the launch of the
"Libre Music" (aka "muzik") project:

                          http://muzik.agnula.org

One of the  objectives  of the AGNULA-IST   project is help  spreading
sensibility  on the topics of  Libre Software, with specific attention
paid  to audio/video applications  and content distribution.  In order
to  reach this  goal, the AGNULA-IST   project has set  up a  publicly
accessible database of Libre Music, i.e.  musical works licensed under
either:

  - the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 license [1]

  - the Creative Commons Attribution 1.0 license [2]

  - the EFF Open Audio License 1.0.1 [3]

We are  not  going to compete  with  other, similar, efforts.   On the
contrary, we   would   like    to     be complementary  to       other
projects/databases who are already working  or are planning to work in
the  same field.

If you  want  to contribute to  our development  effort, feel  free to
subscribe [4] to our development portal [5] and ask  either one of the
`muzik' project  [6]  administrators  (Davide Fugazza [7]  and  Andrea
Glorioso [8]) to be  added to the project  - you will  be able to use
our CVS, bug tracking and task manager tools.

If you, your company and/or your organization is interested in sharing
its  archives of  Libre Music by  publishing it  on AGNULA Libre Music
database  and/or if you want  further  information, feel  free to send
your questions, suggestions and/or criticisms to:

  <users at lists.agnula.org> [9]

for general discussion, and/or to:

  <info at agnula.org>

for general, info-line style questions on the AGNULA project.
