[Consortium] RE: re: VST licensing progress

by Ashton Snelgrove

Would it be possible to compile the headers for the VST separately, and then link them as a external library? Audacity does this with LAME. It can use the library, but you just have to download a separate binary. It's not the best solution from a software libre standpoint, but might avoid the issues of licensing.

[Consortium] re: VST licensing progress

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Hi Paul, Any news on this front? I would hate to meddle with this if you guys are already making a progress. As they say, too many cooks spoil the broth... OTOH, if the talks are stalled, please allow me to offer whatever humble leverage Linuxaudio.org has in order to push this matter forward (my research so far has led me to Steinberg's headquarters in Germany, as apparently Yamaha has nothing to do with it).

I would prefer if we can negotiate an agreement with Steinberg for re-distribution of their headers. It would cut on the complication involved in the other solutions offered here.

[Consortium] Linuxaudio.org announces new members CORRECTION

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

It appears that I've failed to include one project in my announcement: Bristol Synth emulation package for a diverse range of vintage synthesizers and organ https://sourceforge.net/projects/bristol/ So, this in effect brings the member count to fifty three (not that anyone is counting)... The website will be updated to reflect this shortly. My sincere apologies to Nick Copeland for omitting his project from the list. If for some reason I've forgotten to include anyone else's project, for which I do apologize in advance, please send me an e-mail. Again, my apologies for this error. Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Linuxaudio.org Director Virginia Tech Department of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-1137 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)linuxaudio.org http://www.music.vt.edu/people/faculty/bukvic

RE: [Consortium] Funding option

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Greetings all, After some research, it seems that this may not be an option as long as we have the site hosted by the university due to relatively strict regulations by the State (VT is one of the so-called "land grant" universities). I'll keep searching for a workaround, but for the time being, our only chance seems to be incorporating as a not-for-profit. Yet, before we can do that, we need to restructure the board to prepare it for such a transition. More about this later... All that being said, there is another option I am currently looking into. Namely, incorporating with the help from the Virginia Tech University where we would become a "center" with a possible space in VT's research center complex. However, this may hinge upon the fact that we would then bear some fiscal responsibility towards the University and in the long run may not have as much flexibility as we may need. Again, this is something I am currently looking into as well.

[Consortium] a quick hello

by Leonard Ritter

Greetings! I am one of the programmers representing the libzzub/Aldrin project, a reimplementation of Jeskola Buzz for Linux and other platforms. http://trac.zeitherrschaft.org/zzub/wiki/Aldrin Since there has been not much traffic on this list since yesterday, this post serves also as a test and a guide to set up my mail filter ;) Leonard Ritter
