[LAD] Community Interaction and Working Together

Hello all Users & Devs of linux-audio-land, Moving forward from the topic on Aeolus and forking projects, perhaps it is wise to look at how the community as a whole can grow from this situation: 1) It seems the frustration of forks is mainly due to lack of communication. 2) Had appropriate communication been in place, patches could have been merged. 3) If 1) and 2), then the community flourishes as a whole. In the Aeolus thread on LAD, Michel Dominique wrote (and I feel its relevant here): "That imply we must communicate more with each other" "I think this is a big problem, and not only related to Fons work, or the LAD, but to the whole community." The mailing list you're reading from now is one of the central hubs for the community: The -developers list is the perfect place to announce projects, forks, patches etc. The -users list is good for asking users and interested parties questions. I will try to announce more patches / code, to contribute upstream, and hopefully benefit the community. Cheers, -Harry
