I just updated my links for the LAU guide webring and changed the link for "promoting Linux audio" to "Commercial Linux audio". It made me consider why you want the url to be changed and I now strongly believe that it is in the best interests of commercial Linux audio that we retain that url. It makes sense to me that if we are going to pool our resources to promote Linux audio we should also use the most obvious url in the world. Currently all the lists and websites you have mentioned that could be hosted by this url are well linked and established. There is no point in tearing all that hard work, time and effort down when we should be building it up by taking it to the next level. IMO the next level for Linux audio is commercial representation. I am biased because I have financial interests in seeing commercial Linux audio succeed. However I have *never* heard from any of the developers that a financially successful Linux audio company will be a bad thing for our community. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
