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

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

[Consortium] server issues

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

All, We are continuing to encounter issues with our server and will have to take the system offline for a couple of hours until we figure out what is exactly going on. We'll keep you posted as soon as we know more.

[Consortium] Some suggestions/guidelines for the LAA posts

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Dear fellow LA* members, As some of you may be aware, instead of a static news page, Linuxaudio.org now has a direct LAA feed as its front page. Consequently, I would like to encourage everyone to please put special care in crafting your LAA posts, meaning much more so than those destined for lau/lad lists, as this is in part what everyone sees when they visit Linuxaudio.org (and if our awstats are any indication < http://stats.linuxaudio.org/cgi-bin/awstats.pl?config=www.linuxaudio.org>, then we do get tons of exposure there that is perhaps more importantly steadily growing). I say this not because there have been some grave offenses recently but rather because I think as a community it would really nice if we collectively put extra attention to this facet that is much considerably "public" than a typical lau/lad post. So, I guess what I am trying to say is perhaps having a post on lau/lad lists mirrored on laa may not be always a good idea. If I had to single-out one post in there that could use some TLC :-) it would be the call for submissions for the upcoming LAC. Namely, suggesting that there has been little interest may end-up looking like a self-fulfilling prophecy--new and incoming potential contributors to LAC who may have come across this post could be easily discouraged by the way this reads despite the fact we all know that most conference submissions are usually uploaded in the last 72 hours before the submission deadline. At any rate, don't mean to be preaching, so I hope no one will get offended. And if you do, I guess I owe you a pint (hear that Frank? ;-) Just my 5-cents worth...

[Consortium] Announcing new Linuxaudio.org consortium members

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

You may have noticed an apparent lack of consortium-oriented correspondence over the past month or so on LA* lists. It's been a great winter break for all of us involved in Linuxaudio.org. Alas, the end of it was punctuated by the server crash which occurred earlier yesterday. Luckily, we've recovered the system with minimal data loss and are now back up and running. So, what follows is a long-overdue update to the membership. It is my great pleasure to announce latest members of the Linuxaudio.org consortium: AVLinux http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html GNU Tick http://www.antcom.de/gtick/ MIDI software by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas http://plcl.users.sourceforge.net/ Spreemusik www.spreemusik.de We welcome you in our midst and look forward to working with you! Should you happen to have any questions, suggestions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Director, Linuxaudio.org Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)linuxaudio.org www.linuxadio.org

[Consortium] linuxaudio.org downtime

by Robin Gareus

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - From Sunday evening (UTC) until now we had a server outage of ~20 hours in which all linuxaudio.org services were not accessible. We apologize for the inconvenience, the cause of which was hardware failure of the server (cooling failed and the system halted due to overheating). It took some time to get access to the hardware, fix it and subsequently perform a complete file-systems check.. Thanks to Ico who maintains the hardware, the services are up an running again and there has been no data and email loss. Sorry for this boring message. You may rest assured that this outage did not include any major animal involvement and no one was harmed during the process. The three spiders are alive and well. Cheers, robin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAktd4G4ACgkQeVUk8U+VK0IH3QCgkSNGtNAoM24gpN80XD01YZm9 QncAn38ig9CDxT1bW1TVwh/DD8lLIGPn =yyzu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Consortium] Best wishes for the Holidays

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Please allow me to echo what many others have already said so eloquently on the LA* lists: On behalf of the Linuxaudio.org consortium, L2Ork, and personally I would like to extend very best Holiday wishes to all LA* users, developers, artists, enthusiasts, supporters, contributors, companies, and sponsors. May we have many more years of a thriving community and bountiful creativity. Likewise, I would like to express deepest gratitude to all who have contributed towards making audio on Linux not only possible but also remarkable! After all, Linuxaudio.org, L2Ork, or many of my personal projects would've never been possible without your talents and generous contributions!
