Hello Marek,

> "Linux audio community gets representation..."

I'm not sure where you're quoting from - I can't see that phrase in 
the announcement press release for the consortium or the About page 
of the website.

You can focus on developers if you like, but as a humble user I'd like 
to be involved too.

Okay, Germany plus one mini-conference in Australia. That leaves about 
190 other countries.

People who need to use this kind of software on a daily basis but have 
low awareness of Linux and/or libre software. By contrast, if you 
have an audio stand at a general Linux event you will find high 
awareness of libre software but only a small minority of specialist 
audio users. (Those Linux events are still worth doing, in my 
opinion, but they don't reach many new people).

Not witholding at all - that was your idea.

That's not another private list, it's the original list. There are no 
other private lists. And just for you, I've changed the archives from 
private to public:
 
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/consortium-p/

I'll warn you though, it might not be very interesting reading.
