[Consortium] RE: [linux-audio-user] Attracting more Linux audio developers

Linuxaudio.org has a small active staff and until very recently it was predominantly a one-man show. I am hoping to change this as for one I am really getting burned out and two, I want to utilize my energy on other pressing and likely more important matters, such as incorporation of the organization as a non-profit entity and fund-raising. Unfortunately, even though we had a successful first round of recruiting volunteers, we are hardly at a point where I can say linuxaudio.org has adequate staffing. Regarding consistency, I am very much interested in that but putting some more thought into it (which was in part inspired by the discussion on the consortium list), I feel like total standardization may not be a good idea not only because some of the consolidated websites' webmasters do not feel inclined to do so, but also because we want the consortium to also reflect the freedom and variety Linux audio offers. Hence, standardization as such will likely come in something more subtle (i.e. logo plus perhaps some kind of a subtle corner css menu thingy). That being said, we've not tackled this yet, hence your contributions/ideas are more than welcome. Best wishes, Ico
