Hi,
Canorus is a free music score editor.
We, the Canorus team officially applied for as Canorus organization for the
Google summer of Code 2009 (this includes current application main features):
http://socghop.appspot.com/org_app/show/google/gsoc2009/canorus
We need your help right now. 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.
Kind regards,
Reinhard Katzmann

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.

See you all in Parma,

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.
Hope this helps!

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,

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.

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.

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 !'
