Hello all, Some good news: there definitely will be the Linux Sound Night during LAC2009. At the moment there are two possible locations, the choice has not yet been made. One is a nice bar located in a new industrial area outside the center - they only have one resident near (100m) but we may still have to watch the SPL because of that single resident. The other is a rather sleezy but otherwise OK place in a post-industrial area, here nobody will complain whatever we do. Both places (in particular the second) are a bit to far from the center for an easy walk, but transport will be organised. I'd like all who proposed to play at the LSN to confirm their presence (drop me a line), and there is still room for more. Wednesday the 15th (day before the conference) there will be the pizza evening for the early arrivals. This will be at 'Alfonso' (no relation) on Via Emilia Est, according to some the best pizzeria in Parma. It's also near the Auditorium Paganini making it a good place for a pre-concert pizza. Please let me know if you will be there as I'll have to book the places. Sunday evening we'll have the unofficial LAC2009 dinner. At the moment I'd like everyone who plans to come to LAC2009 to register so we can have an idea of the size of the crowds to expect, and of the number of proceedings to print. <http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2009> See you all in Parma, -- FA
