Its really just an idea that I've been kicking around. I really like the thought of meeting other Linux audio developers in person. Perhaps just adding a couple check buttons to the database: [X] Available for professional Linux Audio consulting [X] Available as a Linux audio community node Couldn't really think of the proper text for the second option, but hopefully you get the idea :) There could then be 2 entry points to the database, one catering to the company or individual looking for a Linux audio consultant and another for those wanting to connect with other audio developers. The latter being more losely based since one would not necessarily need to be a professional to just meet others. I like the idea of having an email proxy so that one could hide their email address (as an option) and a form could be provided that would email the user from the internally stored address. I think the idea of Spam might scare away some people from putting their info in the database (like me). Perhaps this might already be the case (haven't tried submitting anything yet to the database) but having the street address info be optional is good (just city/country is probably sufficient in many cases) as well as phone number and any other items related to privacy. Indicating optional and required fields would be nice on the entry form. Maybe a resume URL would also be good, so if one is browsing through lots of entries they can quickly jump to individual's resumes. Just some ideas, I don't mean to overwhelm :) I like the idea of a Linux audio developer database, it just would be nice to open it up more but still keep it functional as a tech database, etc. Cheers.
