Hi,
Daniel, great stuff.
I'm producing slide presentation for the Jan 15, 2004
NAMM show at Anahiem, California. This presentation is
for a commercial product but a fair portion of it
focuses on LAD/LAU, GPL. The angle is why Open Source
produces quality software and why it's a good
investment for end users and commercial interests.
I would be interested in reading a document that
describes what this community considers appropriate
commercial usage and ideal participation between
business interests and the LAD/LAU community. I
imagine it could be a brief document. This is a topic
I need to discuss at NAMM. Whether any Open Source
community should write such a document isn't entirely
clear to me--Open Source licenses are their for a
reason. Perhaps it's best if I write something based
on my interpretations.
I think it's good that Linux Audio will be represented
at the Sounds Expo. It seems like an interesting time
to begin presenting LAD/LAU and carefully defining and
presenting the spirit of this community.

Hello all,
Please forward this to all relevant lists.
I've negotiated with the organisers of Sounds Expo
2004 (a studio
technology trade show taking place near London,
England, 10th to 12th
February) to have a Linux audio and music stand.
http://www.sounds-expo.co.uk/index2.php
This will be a non-commercial stand demonstrating
Linux audio systems
and offering free advice from Linux experts.
What we need now are:
1. Firm commitments from people who can travel to
London on these
dates and offer help on the stand (doesn't have to
be all three
days). You need not be an expert, as you won't be on
the stand on
your own - a Linux audio user who is confident to
talk about their
experience would be great. If you can bring hardware
that would be a
bonus.
2. Offers of sponsorship for the stand - we will
need to cover venue
expenses, as we can't expect the organisers of the
event to subsidise
the stand.
I believe this is the first time that an event of
this type will have
a Linux stand, and I think it's really important to
get the software
in front of a specialist audio (but non-Linux)
audience.
Cheers
Daniel
