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,

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...

+++ THE AGNULA PROJECT CALLS FOR HELP: NEWSLETTER EDITORS NEEDED
The AGNULA project is in dire need of a fresh and motivated team of
editors for its newsletter [0] (which has long been silent for lack of
manpower). If you are not a developer or a packager, this is your
chance to contribute to our common goal - spreading Libre Software in
the professional audio field.
+++
The AGNULA project is in dire need of a fresh and motivated team of
editors for its newsletter [0] (which has long been silent for lack of
manpower). If you are not a developer or a packager, this is your
chance to contribute to our common goal - spreading Libre Software in
the professional audio field.
Starting from November 2003, the AGNULA Newsletter has collected all
the major news around the world regarding:
- new Libre Software projects focused on audio/video (synthesis,
editing, midi, digital signal processing, recording, etc);
- new releases of existing Libre Software projects focused on
audio/video (same as above);
- events, workshops, meetings devoted to audio/video in which Libre
Software plays a significant role;
- new audio/video projects (or news about existing project) not
directly related to software, which help spreading the concept and
the practice of Libre Knowledge;
In the last weeks, however, the AGNULA Newsletter has stopeed - we
basically don't have the manpower to take care of it anymore.
Now it's your chance to step forward!
Applicants should:
- be well aware that this is a volunteer position. We are not able to
pay anyone for working on our newsletter right now; [1]
- be fluent in english, the language our newsletter is written in;
- have good writing skills. Although the bulk of the work is simply
collecting news that get sent to a dedicated mailing list (more on
this below) being able to rephrase a piece of news is absolutely
necessary in order to provide a readable newsletter;
- know the Free Software audio world reasonably well (you don't need
to be a senior developer, but knowing on which sites to look for
information or whom to ask is a definitive plus and will make your
job much easier);
- be able to use e-mail and CVS;
How does the preparation of the AGNULA newsletter work?
People send news they think are noteworthy to the
newsletter-collect(a)lists.agnula.org
http://lists.agnula.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter
mailing list. Newsletter editors should be subscribed to it in order
to have the rough material which can be later inserted into the
newsletter.
We have created an `ad hoc' GForge project for our newsletter:
http://devel.agnula.org/projects/newsletter
and, accordingly, a dedicated CVS repository:
http://devel.agnula.org/scm/?group_id=18
If you want to become an editor for the AGNULA newsletter, you should
register on our development portal:
http://devel.agnula.org/account/register.php
and ask Andrea Glorioso <sama(a)agnula.org> to be inserted into the
"newsletter" project. From now onwards, you will be able to use the
CVS repository, where the newsletter past issues and the issue being
prepared are kept.
Once the newsletter is ready, it can be sent to the
newsletter-dist(a)lists.agnula.org
http:/lists.agnula.org/mailman/listinfo/newsletter-dist
mailing list, though which it will be distributed to (currently) more
than 100 subscribers.
Until we could, we tried to make weekly releases of the newsletter.
This is not a hard requirement - it's a volunteer task, after all -
but it would be fantastic if we managed to keep everything at this
pace.
If you think you are the right person for the job, don't hesitate
writing us at:
users(a)lists.agnula.org
So that all our community can discuss about your ideas and how you
want to proceed.
Don't hesitate to write us even though somebody else already did: our
goal is to create a medium-sized pool of volunteers able to handle the
AGNULA newsletter. We perfectly understands that more often than not
"real life" takes precedence over what we would like to do, but we'd
like nonetheless to provide the AGNULA project with a continuos
support as far as the newsletter goes.
Thank you for your time reading this, and thank you in advance for all
the help you will be able to give.

+++ THE AGNULA PROJECT CALLS FOR HELP: WEBMASTER(S) NEEDED
The AGNULA project is in dire need of a fresh and motivated webmaster
- better yet, a team of webmasters able to work cooperatively and
replace each other in times of need. If you are not a developer or a
packager, this is your chance to contribute to our common goal -
spreading Libre Software in the professional audio field.

The AGNULA project is in dire need of a fresh and motivated webmaster
- better yet, a team of webmasters able to work cooperatively and
replace each other in times of need. If you are not a developer or a
packager, this is your chance to contribute to our common goal -
spreading Libre Software in the professional audio field.
As our long-time users know, the AGNULA web site (specifically,
http://www.agnula.org/) has for a long time in need of a reshaping
effort. Many informations contained therein are obsoleted, since
AGNULA is not an EC funded project anymore, and the partners which are
actively working on the various AGNULA sub-projects are not
necessarily the same as 2002, when all of this began.
We need a webmaster, and we need it now! :)
Applicants should:
- be well aware that this is a volunteer position. We are not able to
pay anyone for working on our website right now; [0]
- know Plone reasonably well. We are not particularly tied to using
Plone as our platform for http://www.agnula.org/, but our webmaster
should at least be able to export all the necessary data and in
general analyze the current situation through Plone and Zope
management interfaces;
- know the relevant W3C standards that apply to the work at
hand. Right know HTML 4.x and CSS 1.x / 2.x will do the job just
fine;
- be moderately fluent in english. Contents for the website shouldn't
be directly provided by the webmaster, but a basic ability to
understand "what goes where" is a plus. :)
- have a positive, proactive attitude towards the job. Inside the
AGNULA project we give the greatest freedom possible to each
volunteer's creativity and imagination, bearing in mind some basic
prerequisites (i.e. no proprietary technology or protocol used in
our day-to-day work and in what we produce);
If you think you are the right person for the job, don't hesitate
writing us at:
users(a)lists.agnula.org
So that all our community can discuss about your ideas and how you
want to proceed.
Don't hesitate to write us even though somebody else already did: our
goal is to create a medium-sized pool of volunteers able to handle all
web-related tasks inside AGNULA. We perfectly understands that more
often than not "real life" takes precedence over what we would like to
do, but we'd like nonetheless to provide the AGNULA project with a
continuos support as far as the website and related tasks go.
