Re: [Consortium] OpenUp your Concept

anybody wrote: > Hey, Hi Andreas, sorry for the late reply. I've forgot to answer the email in the heat of LAC organization.. > Could you perhaps please open up your "PLANET" Concept to "musicsplanet"? Of course. All Music is Audio; but not all Audio is Music :) I've updated the description on http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/planet > FL(libre)OSS is much more than just Linux(imho)... Indeed. we've been discussing this over and over again the last years. On that note: many Linux-Audio apps also run on OSX or BSD these days.. However, "Linux" is a well-known established name, that many non-technical people know and associate with the spirit of "FLOSS". Other reason for sticking to the current name (LinuxAudio) are old-timers (Linux rulez) and nitpickers (the last "S" in FLOSS stands for Software, or we should become GNU/Linux-audio). We've actually already registered a few new DNS entries including "libre.." but reached the conses that linuxaudio.org will stay linuxaudio.org for a few more years. On that note, there will be a round-table at the upcoming Linux Audio Conference, discussing these issues. If you're not able to attend the conference, feel free to join in with the A/V streams and contribute by IRC. > It would have a more broader base of blog writers We're not really targeting bloggers; the core of linuxaudio.org is and will be the mailing-lists. The motivation for that is that the quality of content and discussions is much higher there than that of the usual blogs & comments or forums. > at first and then there is a "PLANET" > called "graphicsplanet.org" which does exactly the same? > > OR > > If that isn't your stuff please forward this msg. to sb who could be in charge for this... You're not far off. I'm in the admin but actually this is responsibility of the Linux-Audio consortium (CC). > Yours sincerely, Andreas Posur best, robin

[Consortium] Hello World: linuxaudio.org on a new Machine

by Robin Gareus

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi again, Since 6pm UTC today linuxaudio.org is hosted on a new server (actually a VM). Due to slowly failing hardware on the old machine were urged to perform the migration ahead of schedule and were unable to send out a notification about it beforehand. The hosting is (still) provided by by the Virginia Tech, Department of Music and Digital Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio. Many thanks to Ico Bukvic. Daniel James takes care of DNS. and a big thanks to Marc-Olivier Barre who manages the email services. All systems go. robin root -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkvQrr4ACgkQeVUk8U+VK0KmlQCfbNOpDl+xBSngTnxcd6ax/NDI M3UAn3VWgwVKp6O57XnMLCDuCwo+QRgB =lkZU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Consortium] We're back online !

by Marc-Olivier Barre

Dear mailing list users, The list migration to the brand new virtual is complete and all the problems seems to be fixed. As Robin told me when we were in the middle of this panicky evening: "when we find what the problem is, we will all laugh about it". Well, let me share the laughing with you: It was just a typo ! Funny how trouble in the computer world eventually always turn out to be an invisible typo in a configuration file :) Enjoy your new server and post away ! Cheers, -- Marc-Olivier Barre XMPP ID : marco(a)marcochapeau.org www.MarcOChapeau.org

[Consortium] linuxaudio.org email downtime.

by robin＠linuxaudio.org

Hi there, I'm sorry to inform you that our email services are currently disrupted. Due to increasing hardware problems with the linuxaudio.org server in previous weeks we're already prepared a new machine. Another major outage of linuxaudio.org this morning (UTC) forced us to switch to the new host a bit early... All services but for mailman (email-lists) are online and functional. We're working on resolving the problem and will inform you about our progress. robin & marc-olivier

by Marc Groenewegen

Hi everyone, got nothing to do during the Easter holidays ? I don't think so... The second edition of ____The LAC Times____ is online: http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/LAC_Times_2010_04_02.pdf Subjects in this edition: * A first glimpse of the LAC 2010 programme * The 150-Years-of-Music-Technology Composition Competition * A short history of recording sound [part 2] No longer do you need to worry what to do at Easter. Now you'll worry what to do first: study the programme to decide which day(s) you're gonna visit the Linux Audio Conference, work on your composition or read Than's second history lesson. Enjoy ! Marc I'll put a printer-friendly version under the News tab of the LAC site soon.

Re: [Consortium] [LAA] Composition Competition

by Marc Groenewegen

Hi Nils, > Normally Composition Contests are anonymous to keep them free of personal thoughts and impressions. It is sad but a Jury cannot be objective, even a small picture or the name or e-mail address can be too much. Good point, I'll ask Than to make the material anonymous when he forwards it to the other jury members. I'm pretty sure that was his intention anyway. Looking forward to hear your composition (although I won't know it's yours... ;-) ) Marc

Re: [Consortium] [LAA] Composition Competition

by Marc Groenewegen

Hi Nils, > Nice idea but the deadline for not giving it personally was already crossed on 26th of march. That should have said 26th of April ! Sorry I overlooked this and thanks for mentioning. > Also it would be nice to know if the composition is anonymous or not. Anonymous ? Why would you want it to ? Cheers, Marc

Hi all, exactly 150 years ago the first sound recording was made, written in ink. In exactly one month the Linux Audio Conference 2010 will take place. These two events gave rise to "The 150-Years-of-Music-Technology Composition Competition" There are nice prizes to be won and of course the honour and fame associated with the winning composition. The winning composition will also be played at the Linux Sound Night on May 3rd. All the info you need for participating in the competition is here: http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/lac2010/composition-competition Have fun ! Than van Nispen tot Pannerden and Marc Groenewegen
