[LAD] Looking for a LAC proxy

[Hans Fugal]

My paper on the optimization of a constant-Q algorithm in Octave was
accepted, but alas I will not be able to attend LAC this year. :-(

I asked and a proxy presentation is acceptable, so I ask if anyone would
have interest in collaborating with me for the presentation. I would of
course make up the slides and get you up to speed on everything, and I
could be able to be available for questions etc during the presentation
over VOIP or IRC.

Ideally you'd be familiar with octave/matlab and basic DSP concepts like
FFTs.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
