All ladspavst users/contributors,
A ladspavst visitor has brought to my attention that the ladspavst.linuxaudio.org has been spammed for quite some time, rendering a page into useless goop of spam. This is mainly due to lack of moderation. As a result, I've no other choice than to take the site offline until further notice. If you or someone you know is supposed to take care of this site, please contact me and we'll figure out the best way to bring this site back online. Until that happens, the site will remain offline.
Best wishes,

Dear fellow FOSS enthusiasts,
Last week's L2Ork debut was a great success with the performance hall packed and people standing in the back. We've had a tremendous amount of positive feedback and it has been truly hart-touching to learn that people genuinely cared about and were moved by what we had to share. As some of you may be already aware, our story also made the Slashdot and our server has received close to a half a million hits since its posting. Likewise, we've been featured on regional TV channels as well as various international news outlets.
As our thanks to all who have so generously supported us both in person and through the endless corners of the internet, we've posted a track from our weekend recording session. "Citadel" is a piece for soprano and L2Ork that uses a poem by Ivan Gundulic, a famous Croatian poet from the Baroque era. The piece was recorded in a beautifully reverberant Burruss rotunda on the Virginia Tech campus. No post-processing has been applied to the recording beyond a minor eq to soften lows.
To listen please visit http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/ and click on the Media->Jukebox, or simply click on the link in what is currently the top post on the L2Ork blog.
Once again, thank you all for your kind support. We will be starting a public l2ork-dev list soon, so if you wish to contribute, participate, or start your own L2Ork, please do not hesitate to join in on the discussion. Likewise, should you feel compelled to leave a comment, please feel free to do so on our jukebox page (no registration required).
Best wishes,

First of all,
Apologies for cross-posting.
If it is not too much of a trouble, I was wondering if I could ask fellow
FOSS enthusiasts to help us in "digging" & "reddit-ing" our L2Ork
announcement posted on reddit and dig earlier today.

Frank,
It may not be a bad idea to also post this on the Consortium list.

> For those who have been following the LAC activities in the past years:
It's

>
> The available categories for paper submission looks like this:
>
> * Ambisonics
> * Education
> * Live performance
> * Audio Hardware Support
> * Signal Processing
> * Music Composition
> * Audio Languages
> * Sound Synthesis
> * Audio Plugins
> * MIDI

> * Physical Computing
> * Interface Design
> * Linux Distributions
> * Networked Audio
> * Video
> * Games
> * Media Art
> * Licensing
>
> Note that "Video" is also in the list. Yes, that's not strictly Audio :-),

How come the linuxaudio.org mirror (http://download.linuxaudio.org) is not
any more updated with newer releases? Last version available on there is
7.04 which is truly enchant.
What do we need to do to jumpstart this thing again? I presume this would be
something you guys would want to explore, particularly considering that the
hosting/bandwidth are effectively free...

Greetings all,
I wanted to share with you my latest Linux-based and Linuxaudio.org-related
project that has been sucking up most of my time over the past year or so to
the point it seemed as if I have disappeared off the face of the Earth.
Needless to mention it continues to alter my sleeping/eating patterns with
unprecedented aptitude and with no end in sight ;-).
