Hello, LAD readers,

I just want to give a short update on the "Linux Audio Developer
Meeting" that Matthias Nagorni and I are organizing on March 14th-16th,
2003.

We have been collecting suggestions for talks/presentations for the last
couple of weeks, and our current programm looks quite "high-quality":

---------------------
Paul Davis, Bala Cynwyd (Pennsylvania), USA:
  10 Things You Might Not Have Thought About When Writing An Audio
Application

Frank van de Pol, Bergen op Zoom, Netherlands:
  Timing and Synchronisation for Sequencer Applications

Steve Harris, Southampton (Hampshire), UK:
  Digital Signal Processing and the LADSPA Audio Plugin Interface

Takashi Iwai, Nuremberg, Germany:
  Ruminations on ALSA Drivers

Jaroslav Kysela, Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic:
  ALSA - Always on the run

Matthias Nagorni, Nuremberg, Germany:
  Modular Synthesis with AlsaModularSynth
---------------------

This list can be found at http://www.suse.de/~mana/ladzkm.html .

Also, there will be some kind of opening talk/presentation at the
beginning and probably some demos at the end of the respective days. The
exact plans of when which talk will be held have not been fixed yet, but
will be soon. There is a slight chance that we might be able to give out
a live audio stream of the presentations.

We will be given 3 rooms by the ZKM organization: a large lecture room
(100 seats) for the presentations, and 2 smaller rooms for..well, let's
call them "Hack center" for now :-). Both rooms are provided with enough
electricity (so as to not cause any power failures :-), and we will also
be allowed to use the ZKM's internet connection for our purposes, so
noone has to feel "isolated from the Matrix" while attending the meeting
:-).

I am very excited about this - I believe it's the first time we manage
to get together so many Linux audio programmers in one spot, and this
could create a great synergy effect. It's definitely worth visiting, and
if you plan to join it (as participant/developer, not as a "normal"
guest), please don't forget to register with Matthias (mana at suse.de) or
me (Frank.Neumann at st.com) so that we can plan the rooms, accomodation
and equipment. We do not plan any particular participation fees, but
people might have some costs for travelling, hotel/youth hostel and
food. I will do my best to help attendees with finding a room.

I believe that finding our sponsor at the ZKM was a great piece of luck
- at the Institute for Musics&Acoustics they are currently using mostly
Macs running software like Max/MSP, Csound, PD, jMax, but they are very
interested in doing more with Linux - so this come-together really seems
to fit perfectly. Already at this time I can say that we owe them a lot
for making this meeting possible.

Ok, that's all for now. More news will be posted here as I get them.

Have a great Christmas time and a happy, healthy and successful 2003,
Frank
