I thought it might worth mentioning 2 days of intense LAD-friendly talks at the Libre Software Meeting on July 7th and 8th. The program will include: Dave Phillips on "The Scene" Yann Orlarey on Faust Takashi Iwai on ALSA Steve Harris on RDF & Audio Julien Villain on Gestural/Listening training Paul Davis on Ardour (talk + 2hr workshop) Julien Ottavi on APODIO Damien Cirotteau on AGNULA If you're in the Southwest corner of France and want to come and fill the rooms just a little more, not to mention sample of the "young upstart" red and white wines of the region (quite a political battle in the region, apparently), check with lsm2004.abul.org. A glass of decent wine will be considered partial downpayment on your copy of the Ardour manual :) --p
