Greetings Linux audio users,
This summer is a special one for the annual CCRMA summer workshops,
the workshop series is expanded and is being held in a spectacular new
setting at the Banff Centre for the Arts in the Canadian Rocky
Mountains.
All of the workshops include significant hands-on lab components. The
labs will be done on Planet-CCRMA equipped
linux workstations - a great opportunity to get acquainted with linux
audio tools while learning some useful theory and implementation
details.
New this summer is the Digital Audio Effects workshop taught by
Jonathan Abel and David Berners with special guest Julius Smith. The
course focuses on theory and practice of simulating / implementing a
wide range of classic analog audio effects (including compressors,
reverbs, equalizers ...) in the digital domain. Abel and Berners hail
from Universal Audio and are the driving force behind UA's range of
renowned and widely uses digital audio effect plugins.
Detailed descriptions of the courses and registration information is
available here:
http://www.banffcentre.ca/ccrma/
For questions please do not hesitate to contact the faculty of the
courses you're interested in directly, myself, or the banff centre at
arts_info(a)banffcentre.ca (1.800.565.9989 or 403.762.6180).
Best Regards,
scott wilson

Finally, I would like to introduce the OpenJay Development Krew [OJDK],
which actually is only a mailing list with little mail-traffic.
The OJDK is the right place for OSS Dj oriented software developers: here
you should find the right audience for discussing, sharing and improving code,
take / give suggestions and similar.
The OSS software is actually a powerful alternative (and with always
greater occurrence a refferral point) in many fields. Although it is not the
djing OSS case. There are many reasons for that: little OSS compatible
hardware,
few and small projects... few users...
The closed ring of open dj software is based upon few users and few
developers. Crashing it is my intention. To do that my efforts are enclosed
in three projects (enough to cover the whole issue) :
- OpenJay.org : the user side of the opensource dj world ;
- OpenJay Development Krew [OJDK] : the developer side of the opensource dj
world ;
- Jay'O'Rama : my personal software solution which I'm developing since 1 year
and that will be only an alternative ;
You should think to OJDK not as a project factory, but mainly as an improving
factor for code and a discussing place. Projects will come if needed and
desired.
Please...if you are an interested developer, CATCH THE OPPORTUNITY, join
the OJDK list and mail it! More than money or hardware, I need more than ever
some community help in these directions...
There are already some project developers joined our little community.

see you at OpenJay.Org
Greetings:
I've made some minor updates and URL corrections for the Linux
soundapps site, but I've also discovered a problem with the European
mirror. The site at www.linuxsound.at now presents an advertisement for
ATNET, and the advert includes a link to http://linuxsound.atnet.at.
Alas, that link doesn't work correctly either. I've written to ATNET
twice already and have heard nothing from them. If the problem persists
for another week I'll remove that link. The Japanese mirror is also
experiencing a problem: apparently it isn't updating the top and TOC
pages, which is uncool because I've added material to both those parts.
Hopefully the Japanese mirror will update completely by this weekend.
For the time, the only completely current site for the Linux soundapps
pages is now:
http://linux-sound.org
And you all know the rest...
Best regards,

SCOPE OF THE SEMINAR
The exponential growth of network speed makes it possible to
exchange high quality audio and video contents over the Internet,

availability, standards definitions, etc, etc. The goal of this
seminar is to provide an overview of existing Free Software for
multimedia streaming over Internet, to envisage future developments
and collaborations in this area and to examine the possible ways to
fund these developments.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
* Standards and open protocols for multimedia streaming
* Free implementations of open protocols
* Free players for multimedia contents
* Free servers for multimedia streaming
* Server architectures for multimedia streaming
* Open multimedia formats
* Free codec implementations
* Real time multimedia streaming
