Greetings all,
I guess the title say it all. The current cover does not reflect the
"rebranded" name of what is soon to become annual series. So, the things
that are needed/incorporated and/or to be considered:
1) We need to "retitle" the cover so that it is called as follows:
Made in Linux Vol. 1
Tux Power
This way every volume would have its subtitle.
2) We need 2 versions, B & W and color.
3) We also need the front and back sides of the CD jewel case (currently we
only have the front), as well as the CD cover itself
4) Obviously, the cover needs to be made entirely in Linux.
5) the design should be more elaborate but should also be easily
transferable between B & W and color.
6) There should be some kind of a permeating theme which can be easily
changed for each release so that generating covers for future CDs is as easy
as changing the color hue on the entire cover.
7) Obviously linuxaudio.org logo should be incorporated (although it does
not have to be the prominent part of the design).
The old cover can be downloaded here:

Everyone is welcome to participate in this process.
Best wishes,
Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A.

Would it be possible to compile the headers for the VST separately, and
then link them as a external library? Audacity does this with LAME. It
can use the library, but you just have to download a separate binary.
It's not the best solution from a software libre standpoint, but might
avoid the issues of licensing.
Hi Paul,
Any news on this front? I would hate to meddle with this if you guys are
already making a progress. As they say, too many cooks spoil the broth...
OTOH, if the talks are stalled, please allow me to offer whatever humble
leverage Linuxaudio.org has in order to push this matter forward (my
research so far has led me to Steinberg's headquarters in Germany, as
apparently Yamaha has nothing to do with it).
Best wishes,

I would prefer if we can negotiate an agreement
with Steinberg for re-distribution of their
headers. It would cut on the complication involved
in the other solutions offered here.

Attached is the Scribus file of the original cover; it should save some
typing :-)
Cheers!

It appears that I've failed to include one project in my announcement:
Bristol
Synth emulation package for a diverse range of vintage synthesizers and
organ
https://sourceforge.net/projects/bristol/
So, this in effect brings the member count to fifty three (not that anyone
is counting)... The website will be updated to reflect this shortly.
My sincere apologies to Nick Copeland for omitting his project from the
list. If for some reason I've forgotten to include anyone else's project,
for which I do apologize in advance, please send me an e-mail.
Again, my apologies for this error.
