Hi all,
In my recent discussion on the future of linux on the desktop, one of
suggestions was to look into the continually developing enlightenment
desktop solution which does have amazing efficiency as well as steady
development pace.
My recent investigation on the status of the project has revealed that the
project is in dire need of funding for the purpose of getting a new server.
This got squeaky cogs in my head turning and I began wondering what if
Linuxaudio.org offered them server space for their needs, especially since
this is one thing we can offer at practically no cost to us. I've not yet
bothered to mention this to the enlightenment team even in a form of a
remote possibility, namely because I am not sure if this is something
Linuxaudio.org wants to use its limited resources on...
So my question/poll to you is, would this be something that bears relevance
to our mission (IMHO it does, albeit indirectly).
Any ideas/comments?

re all,
please have a look at this log entry on Greg's webpage:
http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/free_drivers.html
i find Greg's approach very simple, incredible it wasn't there before!
:) is it what a linuxsound consortium would be up to, concerning audio
devices?
any thoughts?
ciao

Aldrin is an open source modular music sequencer/tracker for the
GNU/Linux operating system.
We're proud to announce the release of Aldrin 0.10 (Venus).
This release is the second release of the "planet" release cycle, and
introduces a lot of new features to Aldrin.
Here is a short overview of the most relevant features introduced in
this version:
* The vertical-time sequencer view has been replaced by a
horizontal-time sequencer view to get more screen real estate.
It is pretty similar to what you might be used from commercial
sequencers, the difference is that it's controllable by keyboard
only.
* Support for The Freesound Project. Browse and download samples
on the fly without leaving Aldrin.
* The pattern editor has scrollbars now, so you can easily reach
that itchy back of the M4wII even with a low screen resolution.
* Support for loading FLAC, AIF and MP3 samples.
* Aldrin recognizes now multiple MIDI inputs.
* A new set of small icons.
* The CPU monitor has been improved. You get proper numbers now,
and a nifty graphical gauge.
* Redrawing speed has been speed up in the router and sequencer
views.
* Various wording changes.
* Numerous bugs fixed.
Enjoy this new version and visit us on #aldrin on freenode.net, or
