The proceedings for the 2005   edition of the Linux Audio  Conference,
held  at ZKM  in Karlsruhe from  April 21  to April 24,  2005, are now
available online.  Among the many excellent papers that were presented
during what is  by now the most  famous conference of the Linux  Audio
scene, the AGNULA team manage to squeeze two contributions in.

The first paper, "AGNULA/DeMuDi - GNU/Linux and  Free Software for the
pro audio  and sound    research domain" by     Bernardini, Cirotteau,
Ekanayaka  and Glorioso  focuses    on  the  AGNULA/DeMuDi   GNU/Linux
distribution - where we are and where  we are going  from now on.  The
second paper, "AGNULA  Libre Music - Free Software  for Free Music" by
Fugazza and Glorioso, is  a description of the  AGNULA Libre Music web
database.

We encourage you to download the papers at:

- AGNULA/DeMuDi - GNU/Linux and Free  Software for  the pro audio  and
  sound research domain

- AGNULA Libre Music - Free Software for Free Music

  http://lac.zkm.de/papers/fugazza_glorioso.pdf

Last, not least,  please do download  and read  all the  other papers.
The wealth of  material presented during this  edition of  Linux Audio
Conference  was impressive and is  welcome sign of  maturity for those
who wish to   professionaly  use  GNU/Linux  systems  for  audio/sound
production and/or research work.
