hi all!!
my name is criscabello and i´m from brasil. please excuse my poor english.
at first, i'd like to thank all of you linux audio developers who made
it possible for us to work with free plataforms. all of us,
brazilians, are very pleased with the result of all your work.
let me explain.
i work in a government project called "pontos de cultura" (points of
culture), and it is based in the distribuition of media stations with
free software to some places who are in a state of digital, or social,
exclusion at this time (but not much longer, we hope). this project
has a national scope, and in the beggining of 2005 will be distribute
more than a hundred (100) media kits, with projections of distributing
another thousand (1000) in the next two years!
last saturday our group had a meeting with our minister of culture,
gilberto gil, to showcase some softwares for media production (like
ardour, audacity, hydrogen, jack, alsa driver, cinerrela, kino,
etc...), and he was totaly convinced about the possibilities of our
free software media production kit. He also understood the power of
collaboration based work and open source development - this article
from wired magazine
(http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.11/linux.html) says more about
the minister.
oficialy, gil represents our nation, and his opinion represent all
Brazilian's voices!
at the end of our meeting, we recorded one of his songs using ardour,
gil is a popular singer in brazil (and the world) and this was his
first recording using free software. during the session the only thing
in my mind was: thank you so much paul davis and all the developer
communities!
you all can listen to the song (and sample and remix it if you like,
it is distributed under a creative commons license) from here:
in ogg format: http://banto.hipatia.info/maquina-de-ritmo.ogg
in mp3 format: http://www.pirex.com.br/pirexmp3/maquina-de-ritmo.mp3
this e-mail is to tell everyone that this is just the beginning, we
have much work to do together (can you imagine the demands from all of
these people working with our free platform?). and i'm so glad for
this momment.
thank you so much.

Gilberto Gil is indeed a world-renowned artist, and it's great that
he devoted time to recording with you. The recording sounds
wonderful!
Brazil's certainly been a friend to the GNU/Linux/Open Source
community. Many of us around the world thank Brazil's government
for helping legitimize open source in government, and I personally
thank you and Mr. Gil for this lovely song.

Hi,
i second the thank you to all the developers! You do great work! In
fact, there's not a single proprietary platform that has anything that
could make up for the freedom one gains by using open source software.
So even if somebody would present to me the newest windows or mac os X
as a gift bundled with legal copies of the latest and greatest software
i would still stick with linux :)
Big up to brazil! Gil Gilberto rocks!

wow, gilberto gil is your minister of culture....!
this is so incredibly great, and i hope serves as a wake up call to the
world. i have heard how microsoft threatened the government of brazil
after their choice of linux, saying that they would lose jobs (jobs of
course that would have to be there to maintain the problematic
systems!)
thanks!

I find Microsoft's arrogance frustrating and foolish, everytime I have
to force Anti-virus updates on my servers, reboot a server because the
backup software hung, or spend an hour removing spyware from a users
work station. Any solution other than Microsoft is not an alternative
to management.
Brazil is leading the way to a freer world.

Great to hear this! Just out of curiosity, what audio hw was used to
record the session and what audio hw do you plan to ship with the linux
audio workstations?

I'm also curious about the words, since I speak spanish I get some of it
and it sounds fun, I wonder if someone can translate.
Cheers,

is so god to hear all of this interests comments! and i could feel
that expectation that here is a place where linux could grow so much
and i agree with that point of view!
we feel that this expectation exists from here too and theres'nt
anything that can stop that organic evolution. it is inevitable! i
could seeeee! there's no "lose jobs", wher´re not talking about
"jobs", whe´re talking about the development of the culture.
schmidt:

it´s a big pleasure to stay in contact with all of you (you´re all
invited to code in tropical lands ;), and sorry from my delay to
reply, my english dictionarie was so dusted! so, i´m trying...
i record gil using ardour, with two channels (guitar and vocal
available!) of the m-audio delta 1010LT soundcard. demudi 1.2
agnula/debian ditribution with kernel 2.4. the processor is one athlon
2.2, with 512 RAM and 80g of HD.
I'd several takes with this hw using 8 independents channels for more
then a hour in ardour with total stability. and i think this will
probabily be nearly profile of the DAW that will be distributed. Does
anybody have any sugestion??? (wait! wait! just one in time!)
Andrés, here is the lyric of "maquina de ritmo", could you (we)
translate it to english?
e-noise
é nóis
cris
máquina de ritmo
(gilberto gil)
máquina de ritmo
tão prática, tão facil de ligar
nada além de um bom botão
sob a leve pressão do polegar
poderei legar um dicionário
de compassos pra você
no futuro você vai tocar
meu samba duro sem querer
máquina de ritmo
quem dança nessa dança digital
será por exemplo que o meu surdo ficará mudo afinal
pendurado como um dinossauro no museu do carnaval
se você aposta que a responsta é sim, por Deus, mande um sinal
máquina de ritmo
programação de sons sequenciais
mais de cem milhões de bambas de escolas de samba virtuais
virtuais, vistuosas vertentes de variações sem fim
daí por diante, samba avante já sem precisar de mim
máquina de ritmo
quem sabe um bom pó de pirlimpimpim
possa deletar a dor de quem deixou de lado o tamborim
apesar do seu computador ter samba bom, samba ruim
se aperta o botão meu coração há de dizer que é samba sim
máquina de ritmo
processo de algoritmos padrões
múltiplos binários e ternários, quartenários sem paixões
colcheias, semicolcheias, fusas, semifusas, sensações
nos salões das noites cariocas novas tecnoilusões
máquina de ritmo
que os pós-eternos hão de silenciar
novos anjos do inferno vão pôr qualquer coisa em seu lugar
quem sabe irão lhe trocar por tal um surdo mudo do museu
e bandos da lua virão se encontrar
numa praia toda lua cheia pra lembrar você e eu
moreno, domênico, cassim, assim meus filhos, filhos seus
e bandos da lua virão se encontrar
numa praia toda lua cheia pra lembrar
só pra lembrar, só pra cantar
só pra tocar, só pra lembrar você e eu
