Hello all, Sorry to have gone quiet for a bit, but I've been really busy with articles and publicity work related to libre audio software! * Trade magazine Pro Sound News Europe carried a feature on Linux audio in the August issue, written by Simon Trask. I did an interview for that, representing linuxaudio.org * LinuxUser & Developer magazine has agreed to publish a monthly 'Audio Libre' feature; I wrote the first article about AGNULA/DeMuDi and it will be out by the end of this month. * The October issue of Sound on Sound is just out, with a two page feature on JACK with OS X, also written by me. I'm also working with Ron Parker to compile a promotional CD of 'made with Linux' music. I've selected 15 tracks from over 900MB of Oggs and MP3s collected from the internet, and Ron is doing the mastering using Jamin at Mirror Image Studios. I hoping we'll be able to get this CD distributed as a magazine coverdisc by the end of this year. On the hardware manufacturers liaison side, I've been talking to AMD on a regular basis, and we now have a technical contact there for x86_64 porting issues. Please email me if you'd like to make contact with them. Cheers Daniel James Director http://linuxaudio.org

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 re all! i'm waiting for such a thing to be cheaply available to most people for the goal of my dyne:bolic: production means to the masses! so i'm keeping an eye on the "household appliances" market to see what's going on, found this: http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/news/infocus/nexperia_personal_media_… it's quite interesting if it gets thru the market such a thing (as i was told "secretly" by some guy at philips some time ago, they are going such a direction) and it's supported by some free operating system easy to employ and able to exploit most of its capabilities. so the question: anybody with more time for human language than code wants to team up to investigate opportunities of collaboration with Philips on such a goal? i'm open to suggestion, maybe we can employ this consortium to deal with consumer grade and not only with professional grade market companies... ciao - -- jaromil, dyne.org rasta coder, http://rastasoft.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Cryptographically signed mail, see http://gnupg.org iD8DBQFBGmnAWLCC1ltubZcRAkAjAJ9QI9s4/Ul0zcvjrKsazUewgVPxuwCg0UVE FfFGdTob7T12NS3vxWxIWBg= =oS1s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

This would probably be a good candidate as a .linuxaudio.org subdomain. Should we make the guy such an offer?

Meeting at Karlsruhe

by Daniel James

Hello all, For the benefit of people who weren't able to attend, I'll summarise the result of the linuxaudio.org meeting at the International Linux Audio Conference in Karlsruhe, Germany last week. The two main issues that were discussed were the legal status of the linuxaudio.org consortium, and website consolidation. On the first point, several people thought that the organisation could benefit by becoming a legal entity, such as a registered not-for-profit organisation. This possibility raises several questions. In which country would it be registered? How would the inevitable overhead caused by bureauracy be handled so that it did not disproportionately consume advocacy resources? Could official status actually restrict consortium activities? It was pointed out that linux audio information is distributed among many different websites, some with ambiguous or misleading domain names, such as eca.cx or linuxdj.com (which is not really about DJ'ing). In addition, Dave Phillips is looking for help to automate content management on linux-sound.org and its mirrors, and for new site editors. The consortium could help here by co-ordinating a reorganisation of sites around the most appropriate domain names, using sub-domains where appropriate. Then content management systems could be used to spread the work of maintaining sites among teams of editors. Naturally there would have to be legacy links in place to make sure that information was not lost. I'd be very interested to hear list members' opinons on these two issues, or any other matters that need to be raised. Cheers! Daniel James Director http://linuxaudio.org

Re: Xiph and Linuxaudio.org

I'd agree - I think the use of the word 'sometimes' here was intended to indicate that. The only reason that proprietary formats were mentioned at all was that some developers wanted protection for reverse engineering, following cases like Sklyarov. In practice, this protection has been hard to get a consensus for among commercial companies. > I suppose we should coordinate some kind of joint press > release or announcement once the red tape is over. Sounds good to me! Cheers Daniel James Director http://linuxaudio.org

The Xiph.org Foundation joins Linuxaudio.org

by Daniel James

May 10, 2004 - The Xiph.org Foundation has joined the Linuxaudio.org consortium, becoming the newest member and bringing the total number of members to nineteen. Linuxaudio.org is a not-for-profit consortium of companies and software projects using Linux kernel based systems and other libre software for audio work, with an emphasis on professional tools for the music, recording and broadcast industries. The consortium aims to co-ordinate joint projects between members, collaborate on the promotion of Linux based systems for audio tasks, and provide a single point of contact for prospective industry partners. Daniel James, Linuxaudio.org director, commented: "With the welcome addition of the Xiph.org Foundation, our consortium now has members working on all aspects of Linux audio. The Xiph.org Foundation codec projects and related software perfectly complement existing members' work on hardware, drivers, applications, plugins and Linux distributions. Together, we can now offer complete Linux-based solutions to the audio industry and user communities all over the world." The Xiph.org Foundation is a not-for-project multimedia research and development company, focused on the creation of next generation codecs and tools for audio and video that are both open and royalty-free. Current projects include the Vorbis audio codec for general purpose audio compression, the Speex codec for voice compression, and the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC). More information on the Linuxaudio.org consortium and the Xiph.org Foundation can be obtained by visiting our respective websites: http://www.linuxaudio.org/ http://www.xiph.org/ Press contacts: Daniel James at (daniel at linuxaudio dot org) and Jack Moffitt at (jack at xiph dot org) ends

A brief report on the LinuxUser & Developer Expo

by Daniel James

Hello all, At the LinuxUser & Developer Expo this week in London, linuxaudio.org had a small presence alongside the Rosegarden stand. As well as Chris Cannam and Richard Bown from the Rosegarden team, Tim Hall (who is a musician and Demudi user) came to help out. We made new contacts with OSDL, Sun, SUSE and the BBC R&D department, with the latter having a stand of their own this year. (Many of the BBC techies are pro-Linux, and they are trying to work more closely with the community). Cheers Daniel James Director http://linuxaudio.org
