Feel free to forward around] Florence, 23 Feb 2004 +++ AGNULA Libre Music officially launched The AGNULA IST-Project [0] is proud, after two months of feedback from our beta-testers and hacking, to officially announce the launch of the "Libre Music" (aka the "muzik" project). +++ The AGNULA IST-Project [0] is proud, after two months of feedback from our beta-testers and hacking, to officially announce the launch of the "Libre Music" (aka "muzik") project: http://muzik.agnula.org One of the objectives of the AGNULA-IST project is help spreading sensibility on the topics of Libre Software, with specific attention paid to audio/video applications and content distribution. In order to reach this goal, the AGNULA-IST project has set up a publicly accessible database of Libre Music, i.e. musical works licensed under either: - the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 1.0 license [1] - the Creative Commons Attribution 1.0 license [2] - the EFF Open Audio License 1.0.1 [3] We are not going to compete with other, similar, efforts. On the contrary, we would like to be complementary to other projects/databases who are already working or are planning to work in the same field. If you want to contribute to our development effort, feel free to subscribe [4] to our development portal [5] and ask either one of the `muzik' project [6] administrators (Davide Fugazza [7] and Andrea Glorioso [8]) to be added to the project - you will be able to use our CVS, bug tracking and task manager tools. If you, your company and/or your organization is interested in sharing its archives of Libre Music by publishing it on AGNULA Libre Music database and/or if you want further information, feel free to send your questions, suggestions and/or criticisms to: <users(a)lists.agnula.org> [9] for general discussion, and/or to: <info(a)agnula.org> for general, info-line style questions on the AGNULA project. +++ About AGNULA: Agnula (acronym for A GNU/Linux Audio distribution, pronounced with a strong g) is the name of a project funded by the European Commission (number of contract: IST-2001-34879; key action IV.3.3, Free Software: towards the critical mass). The project aims to spread Free Software in the professional audio/video arena.
