I cannot begin to describe how much I disagree with "rebranding" what is
being done to make it go big. Sure "open source" is a nice term, and
"create
commons" is too, but one should stand with what it is that your *actually
doing*, and dimming it down for people getting into the scene is not going
to improve the situation in the long run. Turning them into a veteran linux
audio guys: that's a better goal.
Restating: I disagree with the idea of "marketing" names for what we do.
People will be draw to the comunity *because* of what we do, not because of
*how we brand* what we do.
The guys from LMMS for example (as other projects), could mention that
account when posting a message.
'LMMS 0.9 is out! Grab it at http://lmms.org #lmms #opensourceaudio
@opensourceaudio'
That's not a bad idea. And its being done already to some degree,
check @linuxsound,
it posts links to all LAU mails. If we done the same for the LAA list, that
might suffice for the "Grab it here" style messages?
