Feel free to forward around] Florance, 17 January 2004 +++ AGNULA JOINS THE LINUXAUDIO.ORG CONSORTIUM AGNULA is proud to announce it has joined the Linuxaudio.org Consortium. +++ AGNULA is proud to announce it has joined the Linuxaudio.org Consortium [0], which brings together the leading projects and companies working in the field of professional audio systems based on Libre Software. Linuxaudio.org is a not-for-profit consortium of companies and libre software projects using Linux kernel based systems and other libre software for audio work, with an emphasis on professional tools for the music, recording and broadcast industries. The consortium aims to co-ordinate joint projects between members, collaborate on the promotion of Linux based systems for audio tasks, and provide a single point of contact for prospective industry partners. Inside the AGNULA project we are excited to join the Linux Audio consortium. Since we base our work on the principle of maximum co-operation, typical of Free Software projects, we can only applaud the effort to unite the key GNU/Linux players in the audio software industry and community. We are looking forward to contributing our experience to the expertise provided by consortium members, with the common goal of developing ever better Linux-based systems for professional audio work. Other members of the Linuxaudio.org consortium include: ALSA project (supported by SUSE) Ardour project Audacity project Boost Hardware Core Sound Dyne:bolic project Fervent Software 4Front Technologies JACK project JAMin project Linux Audio Systems Lionstracs MandrakeSoft Mirror Image Studios Plugin.org.uk project Rosegarden 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).
