Please read our description thoroughfully and pose andy ideas or errors in wording. Those written the are no native english speaker so that would already be a great help. Also please read http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/orgcriteria and the FAQ parts on http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/program/google/gsoc2009/faqs concerning the mentoring organization. This way you can understand much better what we want to achieve and hopefully can give us some helpful hints to improve our changes to get accepted. I'd also like to know if the Consortium or any other larger audio organization has planned to apply at the GSoC 2009 this year ? Just as a backup so we could still get some of our projects ideas to students. Thanks in advance.

LAC2009 update

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, Some good news: there definitely will be the Linux Sound Night during LAC2009. At the moment there are two possible locations, the choice has not yet been made. One is a nice bar located in a new industrial area outside the center - they only have one resident near (100m) but we may still have to watch the SPL because of that single resident. The other is a rather sleezy but otherwise OK place in a post-industrial area, here nobody will complain whatever we do. Both places (in particular the second) are a bit to far from the center for an easy walk, but transport will be organised. I'd like all who proposed to play at the LSN to confirm their presence (drop me a line), and there is still room for more. Wednesday the 15th (day before the conference) there will be the pizza evening for the early arrivals. This will be at 'Alfonso' (no relation) on Via Emilia Est, according to some the best pizzeria in Parma. It's also near the Auditorium Paganini making it a good place for a pre-concert pizza. Please let me know if you will be there as I'll have to book the places. Sunday evening we'll have the unofficial LAC2009 dinner. At the moment I'd like everyone who plans to come to LAC2009 to register so we can have an idea of the size of the crowds to expect, and of the number of proceedings to print. <http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2009> See you all in Parma, -- FA

Dear Carl, I am forwarding your inquiry to our main linux audio and consortium lists in hope someone would be able to assist there or at least provide some leads as to whom you could contact.

LAC2009 update

by Fons Adriaensen

A quick update on LAC2009 The paper review has ended, and 24 papers have been accepted - this will require some squeezing to fit into a schedule. There are three major workshops planned as well, LASH, Netjack and CLAM, and possibly others. The music for the concerts has been selected. There will be two, on thursday 16 and saturday 18, at the orchestra rehearsal room of the auditorium Paganini. The only part that remains hanging in the air is the Linux Sound Night (planned friday 17) and that is why people who have proposed to play there have not had a definitive response up to now. The problem is finding the right space. In the center of Parma you need something that's soundproof or you will get the 'vigili' at your door within a few minutes. The originally planned place (which was near perfect) turned out to be too expensive. The two next ones we tried are already booked. There are still some places outside the center, but this will require organising transport as well, or a very long walk to your bed. Anyway the plan *is to have a LSN*. Expect more news in a week or so. Meanwhile we've started making the detailed program. Several people are involved in more than one activity (papers, workshops, concerts, rehearsals) and taking all this into account creates a rather complex puzzle. For now I'll assume that all paper presenters will be in Parma from thursday 16 april,11:00 to sunday 19 april,13:00. Sunday afternoon we'll have the workshop reports, the traditional panel discussion and of course the group picture. If you present a paper and can't make it in time or have to leave before the end of this period please let me know ASAP. For the early arrivals, on wednesday evening we'll have the pre-conference pizza, and sunday evening the very unofficial conference dinner. The registration site should be up in a few days. Looking forward to see you all in Parma, -- FA Laboratorio di Acustica ed Elettroacustica Parma, Italia O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !

Linux Audio Awards : postponed to 2010

by Patrick Shirkey

Hi, In the spirit of organizing a well executed Awards ceremony and due to lack of interest from the business community in sponsoring the inaugural Linux Audio Awards for 2009 I have decided to withdraw from organising the event and will postpone the inaugural event to the next Linux Audio Conference in 2010. Hopefully conditions will be more suitable for sponsors to get involved next year. Cheers. // -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd.

Need hardware and software sugestions

by Andres Blanco

Hi, First time posting on the list. I have some questions regarding audio production. I've been thinking of setting a small audio production machine, nothing too fancy, but good enough to create good quality podcasts and do some mixing. All done in linux of course. What linux distro do you suggest? What hardware to use that would work flawlessly on linux? I'm not a pro when it comes to audio production, so if it's not too much to ask, please don't be too technical, suggest me a few links so I can learn, or even explain if you have the time. Thank you all for taking your time to read. -- Andrés Blanco Morales

LAC2009 paper deadline coming near...

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello all, yada-yada (*) The paper submission deadline for LAC2009 is just a little more than 100 hours away, and the response so far has been rather disappointing, to the point that there would not be much of a conference at all. The deadline could be extended by two weeks (29 Jan, midnight), but that would make sense only if we know there will be sufficient submissions. So if you are planning to submit a paper, or present a workshop please let me know *ASAP*, and in any case before the original deadline (15 Jan, midnight). Ciao, (*) This means 'best wishes for 2009 !' -- FA Laboratorio di Acustica ed Elettroacustica Parma, Italia O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !

food for thought

Although I am rarely a supporter of extreme measures, the following article (courtesy of pixel list) provides an interesting angle on the Web 2.0 leviathans such as Myspace and Facebook: http://bang.calit2.net/tts/2008/12/31/why-i-am-deleting-my-myspace-account-a nd-you-should-too/ Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio Assistant Co-Director, CCTAD CHCI, CS, and Art (by courtesy) Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/faculty/bukvic/
