Announcing immediate availability of the new Linuxaudio.org logo

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Dear Linuxaudio.org members, It is my great pleasure to announce immediate availability of the new logo and its variations. Once again, big thanks go to Thorsten Wilms who put up with most if not all of my picky remarks and criticisms ;-). At any rate, without further ado, for more info as well as press release please visit: http://linuxaudio.org Where to from here? ------------------- With the logo project now complete, new members will be presented to the board and hopefully announced within a week. Following ratification of our new members, we will focus on creation and adoption of the articles of incorporation and bylaws in preparation for the upcoming incorporation. Finally, as of right now, the general membership sentiment suggests that we should incorporate in US. Personally, although I have been very much indifferent towards this topic, based upon the recent discussion as well as assessment of viable options and alternatives, US right now seems IMHO to be the most logical choice. Please note that this in and of itself should not preclude creation of other branches in due time. Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-7047 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/people/faculty/bukvic/

Call for project updates

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Greetings all, Following a very exciting LAC conference, please allow me to extend an invitation to all Linuxaudio.org members to please forward the relevant summary of the latest developments in the area of their specific projects and/or creative endeavors. It is our aim to supply monthly updates regarding our members' activities and with it provide additional exposure as well as up-to-date information. For this purpose a single paragraph should suffice. Please allow me to emphasize that your cooperation in this matter is instrumental and will determine its long-term success. Therefore your participation will be most appreciated! Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-7047 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/people/faculty/bukvic/

RE: [Consortium] Logo update

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Hi Thorsten, Great job! IMHO, I think that we should exert more control over how the logo will be integrated, and in this case my suggestion is to provide some spacing around the logo as well as to stylize the edges so that we don't have a bland square. In other words, I think we should integrate the white logo border into the logo itself (i.e. something more like the frame suggested in my e-mail). This will ensure more professional look in those situations where a white background becomes necessary (and this will likely be in a majority of places). Please see attached mock-up for a possible solution (perhaps we should do the same for the large logo?). Apart from the previous point, I am also thinking that we should make sure that penguin's belly is always white as this is also a part of the identifying trademark. As a matter of fact, I am not sure whether we should allow the logo in any other background color than white...

Misc. updates

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Apart from the aforementioned call, please note the following updates: 1) We will resume our discussion of the much debated topic of the "country of incorporation." Namely, following our initial debate, I would like to open the floor for concrete proposals. Your proposal should consist of the following: *Proposed Country *List of at least 3 dedicated and more importantly *accountable* citizens or permanent residents of that country who will be willing to take on important functions (namely treasurer, secretary, and an assistant director) and who are either members or are willing to become members of the consortium *Other pertinent reasons 2) We are *still* looking for a dedicated webmaster and a site sys-admin. If anyone wishes to help out in this important aspect of our growing organization, please contact me asap. 3) I am currently looking into recruiting up to two writers who will provide either bi-weekly or monthly content/reviews/pr materials. If you are interested in this type of outreach and have good English/writing skills, please contact me asap. 4) We have a few new memberships pending which I should be announcing by the end of the next week. 5) Finally, Thorsten has been busy putting finishing touches on our branding logo and its smaller version. He should be posting the new version on this list shortly.

Thanks :) It's still based on the Nimbus, but customized in several iterations. While I was worried about it being to technical and hard, too much contrast to the penguin, Ico wasn't ;) --- Thorsten Wilms

Pre-LAC presentation meeting

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Greetings all, With LAC less than 24 hours away, I wanted to remind everyone that, as per Daniel's suggestion, we will have a consortium dinner/meeting on Saturday evening following the last presentation which begins at 5pm (so tentatively it should begin at 6pm). We will all meet-up after the presentation in the main lobby downstairs to figure out: 1) how many of us are present 2) where we'll have the meetin/go to eat and subsequently 3) what agenda we'll be able to tackle in our capacity If at all possible, I'll try to present the agenda prior to Saturday evening which should allow all the members to at least e-mail their suggestions prior to the meeting. I would especially urge board members to chip in their thoughts as we need at least a virtual quorum in order to make some pending decisions which will allow us to move forward with our agenda. My sincere apologies to all who won't be able to make it to this meeting, but unfortunately the schedule seems to be pretty dense and Friday afternoon has proven to be unfortunately spotty in terms of availability. Hope to see you there!

Logo results and webmaster woes

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Greetings all, Based upon the recent vote by the management, it is my pleasure to announce a winner. Our new official logo will be one that Thorsten designed. It can be viewed at the following link: http://affenbande.org/~thorwil/wordpress/2006/04/16/linuxaudioorg-logo-7/ We will now move onto the next step to integrate the penguin with the already existing textual logo. I would like to thank everyone for their feedback, especially to Patrick and Thorsten for their time and talent. Please stay tuned for more updates. Regarding the Linuxaudio.org site, we are in a dire need of a webmaster (or to lessen a burden 2 co-webmasters). If there is anyone who can assist with this please contact me immediately. Thank you very much! Best wishes, Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Composition Virginia Tech Dept. of Music - 0240 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-7047 (540) 231-5034 (fax) ico(a)vt.edu http://www.music.vt.edu/people/faculty/bukvic/
