Seems Paul will be attending, but so far he hasn't posted his
proposal.
Hey, Paul! Please submit your proposal! It just takes 10 min or
so. Just a title and a short blurb, that's about it. No long
papers. http://linuxplumbersconf.org/ocw/events/2009/proposals/new
But of course, the more people we can get to attend the better.
As a side note, since you are mentioning RT: the biggest
RT-on-the-desktop issues will hopefully be going away pretty soon. My
plans for Fedora 12 are that we ship with the missing bits of
infrastructure so that we can enable RT user processes by default
without nasty security implications. This will then be used by PA and
will also be available for JACK. And I am pretty sure the other
distros will then incorporate the same stuff into their distros pretty
quickl, too. I'll be announcing that shortly in more detail. Stay
tuned.
The Linux
Plumbers Conference 2009 CFP ends soon! If you are working on
Linux audio infrastructure then make sure to submit a paper for the
audio track! Do it now, it'll soon be too late, you have time until
June 15th!
Why attend or submit a paper? Because this is *the* conference where
you can make yourself heard and influence the lower levels of our
audio stacks. If you have some beef with or something to contribute to
the lower level sound (and other) infrastructure of modern Linuxes,
then *this* is where to go.
very true. are any jack people going to make it? might make a lot of
sense, especially for some jack people with insight into kernel and rt
issues... the plumbers conference is a really good idea imho, our
problem is that (semi-)pro linux audio is under-represented. that said, lennart, any chance you could make it to a
LAC anytime
soon?
This year's LAC didn't really fit into my schedule. But yes, I hope to
be able to attend LAC 2010. We'll have to see.
pa has got some heat lately, some deserved imho, some
not, but it
definitely serves a very palpable demand.
i believe that after some time it can be a real blessing for casual
users without necessary having to become a PITA for pro audio users -
but for that, it would be nice to discuss the mutual needs and wishes
over pizza.
The situation shouldn't be that bad anymore. PA and JACK2
cooperate in a more friendly fashion these days when accessing audio devices:
when jack asks for it PA will release the audio device, and when jack
goes away PA will try to take it back.
But yes, there's certainly a lot left to discuss.
