We are happy to announce the next issue of the Linux Audio Conference (LAC), April 9-12, 2015 @ JGU | Johannes Gutenberg University, in Mainz, Germany. http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2015/ The Linux Audio Conference is an international conference that brings together musicians, sound artists, software developers and researchers, working with Linux as an open, stable, professional platform for audio and media research and music production. LAC includes paper sessions, workshops, and a diverse program of electronic music. *Call for Papers, Workshops, Music and Installations* We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing and media creation based on Linux and other open source software. Papers can focus on technical, artistic and scientific issues and should target developers or users. In our call for music, we are looking for works that have been produced or composed entirely/mostly using Linux and other open source music software. The online submission of papers, workshops, music and installations is now open at http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2015/participation The deadline for all submissions is Feb 1st, 2015 (23:59 HAST). You are invited to register for participation on our conference website. There you will find up-to-date instructions, as well as important information about dates, travel, lodging, and so on. This year's conference is hosted by the Computer Music Research Group (Bereich Musikinformatik) at the IKM (Institut für Kunstgeschichte und Musikwissenschaft) of the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) at Mainz. Being founded in 1991, our research group has been among the first German academic institutions in this interdisciplinary field at the intersection of music, mathematics, computer science and media technology. In our media lab students are working almost exclusively with Linux, and in our research we are also devoted to contributing to the growing body of open source audio and computer music software. http://www.musikwissenschaft.uni-mainz.de/Musikinformatik/ We look forward to your submissions and hope to meet you in Mainz in April!
