Bert,
Unfortunately, Linuxaudio.org is currently only project/company/institution
membership. I am hoping to change this in the recent future. Alas we are
currently lacking necessary resources to take on that next step. That being
said, if you are interested in advertising Linuxaudio.org and our cause on
your website etc. please feel free to use our logo etc. as well as link to
our site. You are also more than welcome to join Linuxaudio.org consortium
mailing list. For more info please visit lists.linuxaudio.org.
Hope this helps!
Should you happen to have any additional questions and/or concerns, please
do not hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes,

Apologies for cross-posting.
This is generally a nice conference (and an opportunity to visit Brazil).
Sao Paulo is a great city to visit.

Hello all,
64 Studio is a GNU/Linux distribution tailor-made for digital content
creation, including audio, video, graphics and publishing tools. A remix
of Debian testing, it comes in both AMD64/Intel64 and 32-bit flavours,
to run on nearly all PC hardware.
Our latest development release (1.3.0) is the very first to be based on
a stable release of Debian, the recent Etch release. This means that you
should be able to add any packages you need from official Debian
mirrors, including security updates, without breaking your system. The
forthcoming 64 Studio 2.0 release will retain compatibility with Etch,
to create a long-lived and stable creative desktop.
New packages in this release include Ardour 2 beta 12 (the final Ardour
2.0 build will be included in the next release) and vector graphics app
Xara. The serious bug with sample rate setting for USB audio interfaces
in the 1.2.0 release has been fixed, thanks to a patch from the ALSA team.
Known bugs in 1.3.0 include:
* The Gnome tool for changing user passwords is broken on AMD64
* The latest version of Ktoon is unstable and will crash on start-up
* KNetAttach is installed but is not compatible with Gnome
* QJackCtl window behaviour is wrong, it hides behind apps
This release is named after the Frank Zappa song from his 1978 album
Studio Tan, because we're experiencing an early heatwave in England at
the moment. Studio tan is the same as programmer's tan, as far as we can
tell - it may not improve your looks, but it comes with no risk of
sunburn :-)
Please note that if you want a stable version of 64 Studio, you should
stick to version 1.0 for now, as that version has been more thoroughly
tested.
The changelog is available here:
http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/ChangeLog-1.3.0
and ISO images for amd64 and i386 are here (with md5sums):
http://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.3.0_amd64.isohttp://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.3.0_amd64.iso.md5sumhttp://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.3.0_i386.isohttp://cdd.64studio.com/releases/64studio/64studio_1.3.0_i386.iso.md5sum
You can also upgrade from a 1.0 install or from previous testing
releases using our testing APT repository:
deb http://apt.64studio.com/64studio/testing 64studio main
and running apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade, or pressing the 'Mark
all upgrades' then 'Apply' buttons in the Synaptic package manager. To
avoid system breakage, please comment out or uncheck any third-party
repositories (for example an official Debian one) first, as these might
interfere with the upgrade procedure.
Happy testing!
The 64 Studio team
Updates:
jace-0.1.0
- Now compiles on 64-systems. Many thanks to Joern and Ken for testing.
japa-0.2.1
- Fixed bug that prevented B input to work correctly.
Papers
- All my LAC papers and presentations are now on-line. Follow the
'papers' link in the left margin.
All at <http://www.kokkinizita.net/linuxaudio>
Ken's blog <http://www.restivo.org/blog/archives/80>, mentions the
Lucia IR used in jace's demo configuration. I'll have to temper
Ken's excitement a bit: it is not Santa Lucia Basilica in Siracusa,
but the one in Bologna, now the university's aula magna. See here:
<http://www.bolognacongressi.it/page.asp?m=66&l=1&ma=36&c=259&p=66Aula>
Still a nice place to shake the plaster off the walls :-)

I concur. it's not cool!
We don't think it's a good idea to install linuxPPC just now; but the
underlying OS should be transparent to all LADs/LAUs anyway!

right, gnu/Linux audio - not gnu/Linux servers. - FWIW: we use GNU
software on this server. - but feel free to take this OT issue to the
consortium mailing list. I'm not going to waste time for matters we can
not change easily, now!

yes, it's kind of an ironic joke.
IIRC BSD gets more out of your _web server_ hardware *and* it features
JAILs, chroot-envs and security that gnu/Linux does not [yet]. - If
there is going to be a shell login server for LADs to upload web-content
etc. (alike shell.sf.net): it'd prefer a LINUX-compat freeBSD!
Nevertheless once we get them, at least our mail, log and file server(s)
are going to be pure gnu/Linux!

I've recv. > 5 independent remarks that linuxaudio.org should provide
services for developers - similar to sourceforge.net! (again no April
fools' here)
There are already some efforts (eg. download.linuxaudio.org) but none of
which is end-developer friendly :) - we figured that providing end-user
resources is easier to implement and linuxaudio.org lacks manpower.. -
but I dare say we'll get there at last.
unless *YOU* volunteer, we won't re-implement sf.net on linuxaudio.org -
but we will aim towards some devel-CMS!
Here are a few ideas:
* web-space (1)
* bug-tracking system (2)
* code repository (3)
- no [per-project] forum (6)
- no file-release repo (5)
- no [automatic] per-project mailing lists (4)
(1) we can use one of the currently avail. platforms
wiki (dokuwiki) or CMS (drupal)
AND/OR allow to rsync custom project-web-space (static html only).
- for custom solutions we don't see a problem to add vhosts&accounts
(plus database,cgi), but this won't be an open-registration platform.
(1a) we are also working on re-organizing the vhost names and namespaces
merging old content into new CMS.. stay tuned.
any content with a dubious license is currently being moved to
http://outlaw.linuxaudio.org
(2) bugzilla ? mantis ? trac ?- any volunteers, experts?
(3) subversion seems to be the common denominator!
we can provide import/export (from darcs,cvs,git,..) scripts.
and/or have each project choose it's flavor!
- our current server runs osX and older versions of RC-software,
we'll get a linux-box for this around July and revisit this issue.
I'll volunteer to do the git & gitweb setup.. darcs,svn&cvs are
still open..
(4) once we've consolidated the server backend - you can request new
mailing-lists to be hosted at linuxaudio.org!
(5) frankly: the sf.net file-release system sucks! and so do most
www-interactive file-browsers. - there are many possible solutions, all
with a twist in the details: no spam, little admin-overhead (accounts),
accessible from any OS,... - my current favorite is to have an incoming/
folder (alike sf.net) and a small custom web-CGI that allows
project-admins to *rsync* a subtree of incoming/ to their
download.linuxaudio.org web-space! - (we can allow to write to incoming/
via ftp,webdav,rsync,.. )
(6) once there are Forums on linuxaudio.org we can revisit the
per-project forum idea... ;) - drupal should already be able to do it!
-=-=-=-=-
There are a few general issues (eg. shared accounts/passwords, HTTPS/SSL
certs, proxy/cache ) to be addressed, before we start new web-project.
..just takes some time..
However I'm pleased to announce that we've now got a stable&clean web-
and mail-server setup (including backups, log-analysis -rotation,..
etc.) - and started fine-tuning both performance and security issues;
look&feel will improve further down the road.
robin, for the linuxaudio.org team

I think this issue is amplified by the fact that the conference also targets
by and large the same crowd. I am also not convinced that we would not be
able to find some software allies provided we begin catering to more diverse
audience... Linuxaudio.org consortium already has several high-profile pro
audio members.
Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks. This summer may introduce
hopefully some cool additions to the Linuxaudio.org.
Ico
Many thanks for the prompt reply!
> That sounds great, but what can our group do to help you out?
Well, I am of the opinion that you have managed to generate quite a significant
momentum. For this reason, I see our assistance simply as an extension of your
program. Consequently, I also see your initiative as a vehicle by which we will
be able to expose our mission. I hope that this will help us establish
Linuxaudio.org as the focal entity for all audio matters in Linux.

I would not say that it is slowing down any more than it already has a couple
years ago. This may be also due to the API freeze which took place when the
1.x series hit the streets. That being said, I should probably refrain from
speaking on behalf of Takashi and/or Jaroslav. For this reason I've taken the
liberty of including them in this mailing, so that they can also share with us
their perspective. Therefore, please regard my ALSA comments as mostly personal
observation, rather than a fact and/or consensus of the Linux audio community.
For what it's worth, I personally feel that ALSA needs to continue to grow and
provide things that are pretty much already standard in the proprietary OSS
drivers, namely out-of-box hw sharing via dmix and snoop which "just works" and
beyond.

Please pardon my "academinc" language. This simply means that I hope to
establish a synergistic relationship where we can use your momentum and PR to
expose our entity and mission, while in return we would also serve as
contributors to your project by providing audio driver development & support to
the best of our members' ability.
We actually have a Linux Audio Conference coming up in a few days in Berlin. I
will be unfortunately unable to attend so my presentation will have to take
place via Internet. Once that is all over with, if you don't mind we should
probably do a conference call (Skype/Ekiga/phone?) to figure out details and/or
best course of action.
Until then, should you happen to have any questions and/or concerns, please do
not hesitate to contact me.
I sincerely look forward to discussing this matter further.
Best wishes,
Ico
