Hello all, The Linux Mark Institute, now part of OSDL it seems, is attempting to charge organisations which use Linux in their name - even non-profits like linuxaudio.org: http://www.linuxmark.org/forms/linux_licence_doc.html#Check1 I think we should resist this move on principle. It may only be US $200 per year at the moment for a non-profit, but I don't think it's really in the spirit of free software to go round mugging people for money like this. I thought the name Linux was trademarked to prevent it from abuse. Cheers Daniel

Csound project joins consortium

by ico＠fuse.net

Greetings all, It is my great pleasure to announce our newest member to the consortium, the Csound project, represented by John ffitch. It is truly flattering to see one of the most widespread Music-N DSP projects endorse our consortium. Daniel, could you please update the website accordingly? Many thanks! I am currently out of the country for a vacation and should be back around mid-August. Perhaps we should have an IRC meeting sometime in the late August in order to review some of the ideas discussed this past spring at the LAC, and hopefully put some of them into motion. Until then, have a great summer all! Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, composer & multimedia sculptor http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/
