ok, last year the TU Berlin proposed to host LAC2007 to the ZKM and
after some discussion with them, it was decided to make it so.
We had some discussion during LAC2006 with the people involved
organising the last LAC's about what the future would look like for
the LAC, but we have not come to a definite conclusion yet.
I suppose we will need to continue this discussion on LAC2007 to come
together to a good solution.
Sincerely,
Marije Baalman
HI Marije,
What's the 'TU Berlin'?
Technical University, simple for me - I live around the corner, compared
to you ;-)
Still the Question from Fons has not been answered yet,
Who are you? The Staff of the TU Rektor? Have you got a website up (if
not: do you need any help, to setup one?)
Anyway, I have no say in this and probably never
will until I get
rich. Germany is a long, long way from California so travel costs are
prohibitive. Being that Linux Audio is world wide it's going to be
that way for lots of people no matter where it's held.
TUs name has some reputation, so if the TU would ask for sponsoring
travelling costs, it may have a good chance to get some checks. Though
sponsoring culture is somewhat underdeveloped in Germ...
I think the folks who set this one up for the last 5 years should
be able to have it where they want. Cheers to them and ZKM for all
their efforts over the years.
Maybe, if there was enough interest, there should be some thought
towards doing conferences like this on more than one continent each
year? LAC-Europe, but also LAC-Buffalo, LAC-Panda, LAC-Kangaroo, etc.?
Yeahhh LACs for everybody everywhere!!
Out of obvious reasons (refer my nick) I like the idea of having a LAC
here in Berlin very much ;-) But of course I agree, that travelling
costs should be no hindrance for interesting and interested
international Linux-Audio-Makers to come.
So fundraising should be made....
best regards
Z
p.s.: I would be honoured to host a guest in my flat and donate a small
amount of money to buy tickets(sometimes it is not perfectly easy for us
to raise the money to pay the rent for the abovementioned flat, so dont
expect a Shuttleworthish amount ;-) ).
