[linux-audio-dev] [ann] jMax Call For Help

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ AGNULA: Call for Python Volunteers The AGNULA ("A GNU/Linux Audio Distribution") is working on the creation of two entirely Free Software GNU/Linux distributions for professional audio users based upon Debian GNU/Linux and RedHat. Unfortunately, there is one application that depends on proprietary Java implementations for its GUI, so at the current state it would not be possible to include that package in a fully functional way. That application is jMax, a visual programming environment for building interactive musical and multimedia applications and a contribution to AGNULA by IRCAM, the music center of the Centre Pompidou in Paris, France. The most likely solution of this problem seems the creation of a Python-based Free Software GUI for jMax that can replace the current Java GUI. Unfortunately IRCAM is lacking the people that could complete this task and cannot do it without help. So we are now looking for volunteers who are interested in helping create a Python GUI for this remarkable application. Volunteers can subscribe to the mailing list at http://listes.ircam.fr/wws/info/jmax to get in touch with the other developers working on jMax. Although IRCAM cannot do the development all by themselves, they offer priority support (response times within 24hrs during working days) to everyone who'd like to help out. If you'd like to find more information about the issues and what has been tried to resolve them, that is available at http://fsfeurope.org/projects/agnula/java.html. If you were looking for interesting audio projects to get involved in, this might be a good opportunity - all help will be appreciated! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- Andrea Glorioso andrea.glorioso(a)agnula.org AGNULA/DeMuDi Technical Manager http://www.agnula.org/ "There's no free expression without control on the tools you use"
