Greetings all,
I will be on vacation and unavailable until July 11. In the meantime, I will
do my best to keep up with e-mail, although my Internet access will be
rather spotty (I know that I have at least a few e-mail to answer which,
time permitting, I'll try to answer asap). Nonetheless, should you happen to
have any questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

FWIW, wanted to share some impressive performance I managed to pull off
earlier today from my new toy:
RECIPE:
1 Macbook Pro
1 Ubuntu Dapper (vanilla 2.6.15-26 kernel)
1 adjustment to rtlimits (total of 2 lines)
1 fglrx driver
1 Xgl with all eye-candy you can get
1 JACK + Qjackctl
1 32 x 3 buffer size
Mix it up. Run in realtime.
RESULT: xrun-free 2ms latency on a crummy built-in soundcard (2 in, 6 out)
plus all the eye-candy goodness you can possibly dream of at approx. 14%
CPU. ;-)

Hi,
We recently made a downloadable demo ISO version of Studio to Go! v1.50
available:
http://www.studio-to-go.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=71&It…
Would anyone be in the position to offer us a mirror (or point us to a
likely source)? It's obviously quite big - around 600MB - so I'm not
exactly expecting an avalanche of offers!
Some news - Studio to Go! v2.0 is now in development and we'll be
announcing features and a beta programme shortly.
Rgds,
Richard
Fervent Software
Hi Jaromil,
The newest issue of Sound on Sound has a feature on Pure Data on page
176. It recommends dyne:bolic for setting up a Pd environment, and has a
screenshot of dynebolic.org on page 180.
Irie!

:: WHAT IS DYNE:BOLIC ?
Dyne:bolic GNU/Linux is a live bootable cd, containing a whole
operating system that works straight from boot, without the need to
install or change anything on the hard disk.
If you like and want to have it on harddisk you can simply copy the
/dyne directory on your computer: the simpliest installation ever! Your
older system is untouched and comes back booting without CD.
Dyne:bolic is user-friendly: recognizes your hardware devices (sound,
video, firewire, modem, network and USB) and offers a vast range of
software for multimedia production: audio and video manipulation, sound
composition and synthesis, 3D modeling, photography, peer2peer
filesharing, web browsing, veejaying, desktop publishing, word
processing, cd burning, email, encryption, anonymity tools and more.
All software is free and there is no market operation behind
dyne:bolic, just a communal effort to widen access to modern technology
and let people be Free to Create.
Dyne:bolic is being developed since more than 5 years and optimized to
run also on older machines commonly found in Africa America Asia Europe
India and Oceania. It includes code from hundreds of programmers all
around the world, with a lively community of artists, teachers and
developers who use, distribute and adapt this platform according to
their needs and desires.
This operating system is a grassroot effort to share independent
knowledge, it keeps away from commercial speculations and capitalist
corporations, because CREATIONS WANT TO BE FREE.
:: EXCLUSIVE RELEASE ON METAMUTE ::

:: FOR ACTIVISM IN CRISIS AREAS http://streamtime.org
We imagine improvised expressive devices like a CD that turns your PC
into an on line streaming studio. Imagine a mob that creates a traffic
jam. Think of the religious policeman in London, the konfused kollege
kid and the jealous dentist in Baghdad and the jailed blogger blogging
on in Cairo. Building autonomous networks in extreme conditions.
Streamtime uses old and new media for the production of content and
networks in the fields of media, arts, culture and activism in crisis
areas, like Iraq. Streamtime offers a diffuse environment for
developing do-it-yourself media. We focus on a cultural sense of
finding your own way in the quagmire that is Iraq, and its
representation in the global media. We should not try to change
politics in order to foster cultural change; we should support cultural
manifestation in order to force political change.
:: THIS IS RASTA SOFTWARE
Jah Rastafari Livity bless our Freedom! This is free software, share it
for the good of yourself and your people, respect others and let them
express, be free and let others be free. Live long and prosper in
Peace!
But, no Peace without Justice. This software is about Resistence inna
Babylon world which tries to control more and more the way we
communicate and share information and knowledge. This software is for
all those who cannot afford to have the latest expensive hardware to
speak out their words of consciousness and good will. This software has
a full range of applications for production and not only consumption of
information, it's a full multimedia studio, you don't need to buy
anything to express yourself. Freedom and sharing of knowledge are
solid principles for evolution and that's where this software comes
from.
Inna babylon, money is the main requirement to make a voice possible to
be heard by others. Capitalist and fundamentalist governments all
around the world rule with huge TV monopolies spreading their
propaganda, silencing all criticism.
This is a struggle for Redemption from existing operating systems which
always require new expensive hardware for doing the same as ever: give
us free players but make us pay for producing our own voices. And the
one who protects you rips you off, as the Arabs say.
Dyne:bolic is a tool to produce and publish yourself, freely. There is
nothing to consume here, there is all you need to create.
:: WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?
DHORUBA is a complete rebuild and modular rewrite of the whole system,
enhanced for full usability and open for developers to join
maintenance. Recent versions of audio and video tools provide a fully
featured multimedia studio out of the box, ready for being employed at
home, in classrooms and in media centers.
=== new dyne:II core features:
- - it is a multiuser system, user interaction can be secured
- - it includes all compiler and development tools needed to build dyne
- - you can write modifications in the /usr system and save them
- - it has advanced thin client functionality, booting from usb and net
- - it's modular, so you can easily add and combine different software
- - it's slick and snappy like the preceeding dyne:bolic, even better ;)
=== updates and fixes in 2.1
- - upgraded to kernel 2.6.17
- - fix to dock and nest on USB storage
- - support for LVM and raid volumes
- - network file system tools
- - new in Audio: Seq24, SooperLooper, Rosegarden, Icecast
- - fixes to MuSE (updated to devel version)
- - better vga detection
- - misc fixes to desktop usability
=== upgrading from version 1
To upgrade from version 1 to 2 just replace the dyne/ directory with
the new one, or run the CD and answer yes when prompted.
Before upgrading you have to manually backup the personal contents of
your old nest and import them to a new one.
Please note that:
- - version 2 is not running on XBOX game consoles
- - version 2 does not include the OpenMosix clustering system
=== development history
The dyne:II core has been compiled from scratch by Jaromil and Smilzo
in 2005. During 2006 Jaromil completed a full rewrite of startup,
nesting, docking, configuration and sdk scripts, aided by the
experienced testing of Aymeric Antonios and Chun of Goto10.
The new foundation of the dyne:II core opens up the development to more
people, providing a modular packaging system for software collections
and the possibility to customize the liveCD with your favourite
applications. So it is born Pure:dyne, as the first dyne:II
customization focusing on real time audio/video processing with pure
data.
Developers Lounge -> http://dev.dynebolic.org
=== roadmap
We salute and support all development done outside the capitalist
empire, to produce and distribute low power and affordable computers.
We look forward to support chinese dragons and simputers, solid state
workstations and all kind of 100$ laptops. In fact, we are there
already, the next step in this development will be adoption of a
cross-platform build environment to cover all kinds of hardware around.
Mantainance of dyne:II core is kept by Jaromil releasing updates for
the core part; hackers are welcome to join and take mantainance of
modular software collections.
:: BIG UP \o/ to DEVELOPERS & FRIENDS
First of all salutes and great respects to the many developers who have
written software included in dyne:bolic: a long list of names that is
impossible to include here, you'll find information about them inside
the CD and in the documentation of each software.
