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/

Re: [Consortium] SPAM: Re: free software at the tonmeistertagung 2008 - a retrospection

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Allow me to reverberate everyone else's compliments. Many thanks Sebastian for organizing this as well as for an opportunity to present on behalf of Linuxaudio.org. It has been indeed a great pleasure seeing old friends and meeting new faces. Let's make sure to keep in touch and hopefully follow-through at least on some of the great ideas suggested below. P.S. I am forwarding this to the consortium list. Hope no one minds :-) Best wishes, 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 ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/faculty/bukvic/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Sebastian Gabler [mailto:gabler@tonmeister.de] > Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 10:39 AM > To: Armand Klenk > Cc: Jörn Nettingsmeier; Herbert Gnauer; Ivica Ico Bukvic; Paul Davis; > bubestinger(a)fsfeurope.org; martin rumori > Subject: Re: SPAM: Re: free software at the tonmeistertagung 2008 - a > retrospection > > Hi Armand and all, > > the roundtable has been filmed and will be streamed from the > conference's website in a couple of weeks, AFAIK.

Hoping to be member of the Linuxaudio.org consortium

by Ismael Valladolid Torres

[1]Linux AV is my blog on the multimedia experience using GNU/Linux and free software. Once I was listed in the [2]Linuxaudio.org members section, but my link was erased probably because I stopped the blogging activity. The blog is back since weeks ago, and AFAIK is the only blog in spanish devoted entirely to Linux audio and video work. 1. http://linuxav.blogspot.com 2. http://linuxaudio.org/members I'd be glad and honoured if the link to my site was recovered there.

Hi Mike, > There are a couple of ways the Linux Foundation can assist Linux Audio: > > 1) A call for participation for the next Collab Summit is going out, > it'd be great to see audio issues as part of that. In particular there > is desktop track where audio issues should be a key part Thanks for the tip - please send me the announcement when it's available. Our remit at linuxaudio.org actually extends beyond the desktop and what is normally considered as 'consumer' audio, because we have a focus on the more demanding professional audio and broadcast markets. Of course, there is some overlap, because so much production work is done on PC-like systems nowadays. > If you don't already have a free account, please go to > linuxfoundation.org <http://linuxfoundation.org> to be included in our > upcoming communications.

Thanks, but we have a server provided by Virginia Tech. I notice the Foundation has a Sound and Multimedia workgroup with a page at https://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Linux_Sound_and_Multimedia - perhaps we can help with that workgroup. Cheers! Daniel

LAC2009 website on line

by Fons Adriaensen

Hello world, A first edition of the LAC2009 website is now on line at http://lac2009.linuxaudio.org Apart from the initial announcement you'll find there the calls for papers and music, and some related documents. More information will be added in the coming weeks. The site is (surprise !) hosted by linuxaudio.org, site administrator is Robin Gareus, with design and layout by Christoph Haag. For the paper submission and review we are again using openconf, with Frank Neumann at the controls. Ciao, -- FA Laboratorio di Acustica ed Elettroacustica Parma, Italia Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa.

Canorus status update (V0.6/0.7)

by Reinhard Katzmann

Hi, It's been a while since we did some status update. The project is running well though my own time frame is extremely tight in the last an the coming weeks. We had some nice summer time in Slovenia, details about this on out Wiki: http://canorus.org In October I made some progress on the current export / printing to PDF issues I encountered. Also many other things are being improved for the coming release. Our release plan is for early 2009 thereby skipping version 0.6 the current development. My hope is that we can release some kind of alpha/beta in november. To sum up the features we work currently on (or are already finished): - Printing (via SVG currently using lilypond backend, poppler is too much troublesome in this regard) - Print preview (PDF via SVG lilypond backend) - Midi input (note entry via midi keyboard) - Export to PDF and SVG - Transposition - Dialog for keyboard settings (both midi and normal keyboard are planned) - Settings for printing and preview - new resourse subsystem so resources (images/sound) can be added to a score document - finally we have tuplet/triplet support! - PPA Interface (for CLI and (python) plugins) is making progress On the bad side: Ruby support is currently broken A beta version will surely have printing support in a simple way but the settings are something I will start working on after that first. Any question/help offers (we still search for active developers especially on non-Linux platforms like Mac or BSD) are welcome! Please contact as on our Canorus development mailing list if you are interested. Kind regards, Reinhard Katzmann -- Software-Engineer, Developer of User Interfaces Project: Canorus - the next generation music score editor - http://canorus.berlios.de GnuPG Public Key available on request
