Ladies and Gentlemen, The Sonoj Convention is an annual event in Cologne, Germany about music production with free and open source software (and hardware). This year it will be on October the 26th and 27th 2019. It features demonstrations, talks and hands-on workshops. Meet like-minded people, learn insider knowledge and tricks, participate in our one-hour production challenge! Everybody is welcome, no matter your musical or technological background or capabilities. Our Website: https://sonoj.org This is our first announcement, reaching out to our core audience. The event is more than half a year away, but we are starting talks to find speakers and lecturers now. Sonoj is not a software-developers conference; instead the stereotypical speaker is an experienced musician or producer.
