I've been for a long time "dreaming"/thinking of a business model for
Ardour/Qtractor/<FLOSS-App> which would be an integrated service to upload
final mixes and even entire projects to the cloud.
Gobbler is an example of that (along with project distributed sync), and
other DAWs have integrated Soundcloud or Dropbox, just as an example.
An integration with Bandcamp would be great as it can be a source of
incoming for both the uploader and the DAW project.
That would be really useful at least to learn, and many times on lectures
and other situations I wish I had a well formated and big project in order
to let the audience astonished.

Nils was planning to load up a large set of samples on linuxaudio.org. may be able to turn the space into a community
hosted sample/project
archive. However it will require many terabytes of disk space if we are
going to do it seriously and that will require us to either generate an
income stream from the users or crowd fund the hardware and hosting
costs.
The consensus is that we should have a seperate server for a project like
this as the disk space requirements are bound to get expensive quickly.
But there is a business model for providing a service like that. Running
it on Linux is a no brainer. Kim Dotcom has made billions out of it so
there should be some room for Linux Audio peeps too.
If people are willing to put a Free license on the projects, it may just
take
some outreach from linuxaudio to the internet archive folks at archive.org
.
I can't ever get a response to my emails from them but perhaps someone else
has some way to get a dialog going.
I am sure it can be done in an ad hoc fashion now but to be really sweet it
will probably need some coordination.
