Hi Jay,

While I agree, I have to wonder what else we can do. The LAM site holds 
a fair amount of music made with Linux tools, and not too long ago I 
stocked the Internet Archive with a batch of recently-composed pieces. I 
have a few other sites dedicated to my music, but perhaps you can 
suggest ways of making all this stuff more visible ?

Btw, I did continue monitoring the traffic for the /. thread re: music 
sequencing software for Linux. Same old same old. Paul got some good 
response, but overall I'd say the thread was a waste of everybody's 
time. The ignorance on /. regarding Linux audio development is simply 
too deep, and I see little indication that posters there want to do 
little but echo the same old mantras.

Has any user on this list come here by being persuaded by what he or she 
has read on Slashdot ?

Best,

dp
