There is also a COMPEL project that I am currently heading and which is
designed to facilitate interfacing between composers and performers. It
offers preservation of both performances (archiving) and the materials
for the necessary reproduction of the work itself, including software.
The platform offers multiple licensing options from fully open source to
commercial and is therefore completely license-agnostic (all copyrights
remain with their owner). It is hosted by my university and in the
coming weeks we are preparing for the soft-launch. It supports
groups/collections and is based on the leading open-source
preservational platform developed by the network of libraries worldwide.
Please let me know if you are interested in this and I will gladly keep
you posted.
Best,
Ico

Linux Audio Music has been dormant for a very
long time, but recently I
contacted the the person who hosted and ran it.
The reason he closed it was because of a serious vulnerability was
discovered in Rails, and he no longer had time to do the necessary
upgrades.
However, he has told me that he still has the entire database and the
code. In his own words: "... would be happy to host and do what I can to
facilitate a handoff to someone else who wants to manage it."
For anyone who doesn't know, this was a relatively simple and clean site
aimed specifically at providing a home for tracks composed with Linux -
something rather rare!
How many tracks are currently "homeless", how many gigabytes? I guess
the
code would be hard to re-use. Tracks could be moved relatively easy to
another place if metadata is clean.
