[linux-audio-user] Reminder::Linux Audio Conference #5 (LAC2007): Call for Papers - Music
6 Dec
2006

4:19 p.m.
Dear all,
this is the second call for papers for the 5th Linux Audio Developers
Conference (LAC2007). This is a reminder since some people might not
have received the last call or might just have forgotten about the
deadlines by now (08 Jan 2007 : Deadline for submission of papers,
worshops, tutorials, demos, hands on demos and music).
The conference is organized by the TU-Berlin in cooperation with people
of the Linux Audio Developers mailing list, the music festival
Inventionen 2007 and the Humboldt University of Berlin.
The LAC2007 is taking place at the TU-Berlin, Germany from the 22nd -
25th of March 2007.
We have introduced some new tracks. Besides the category for papers,
demos and workshops, calls for tutorials and hands on demos have been
added. The tutorials aim is to give new (potential) users an overview of
the possibilities of Linux Audio Software and how to get started.
The LAC2007 provides a computer pool (LA Pool) where developers can give
an introduction to their software and where participants can try out
Linux Audio Software during the conference. This has been combined in
the call hands on demos.
Since the TU-Berlin is installing a new Wave Field Synthesis (WFS)
system the call for music has been extended by a call for compositions
for this system. Music that can be used for radio airplay can be
submitted, and will after acceptance by the Campusradio of the TU
Berlin, be played during the conference.
More detailed Information can be found in the 'Call for Papers' attached
to this email or on the website at:
www.lac.tu-berlin.de
We are looking forward to many interesting submissions for the Linux
Audio Conference 2007 and hope to see you in Berlin in 2007!
Please feel free to forward this email to anybody who is interested.
On behalf of the LAC2007 organisation team,
Marije Baalman and Simon Schampijer

The past four years (or rather the first four years), the conference
has been organised in Karlsruhe, Germany, thanks to the generous
support of the ZKM (Centre for Arts and Media) and the tremendous
efforts of Goetz Dipper and Frank Neumann.
The upcoming conference is the first to take place in another city,
even though still in Germany.
It has not yet been decided where LAC2008 will be, and we are open to
proposals for this.
There are however a few things that we have taken up as our goals for
the conference, which is that participance needs to be free, and as
accessible as possible for anyone who wants; which means that the
whole conference will be streamed (as it has been in the past years) to
the internet, both in audio and video, and people not able to
physically attend the conference, can attend it virtually, and also
participate by asking questions via IRC.
The fact that we stream the whole conference, also has a consequence,
that we need to hold the conference at a time, where as many people as
possible can listen to the stream, which means for Germany, that the
Australians maybe have to stay up a bit longer, and the Americans need
to get up a bit earlier, but the times are not too awkward. (For those
that are physically there, it has the nice advantage that we don't
start too early, like some other conferences do...).
Added to that, I believe that Australia also has its own LAC, isn't
that right?
sincerely,
Marije Baalman

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'?
Maybe those involved in this don't understand how little some of us
(ME!!!) know about how this all gets set up.
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.
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.?
Cheers,
Mark

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?)

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...

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 ;-) ).

FWIW, I have been thinking about organizing LAC in US once my fundraising
for the studio/infrastructure is complete and the studio reaches a
relatively stable state. I would also love to see more connections between
Linuxaudio.org and LAC but that obviously is not entirely up to me.

Ico, should this (LAC-Hokie?) happen in future years you can count on me
to help with streaming it. Blacksburg is a much shorter trip from
Arlington than Berlin. ;) (not that I mind going to Berlin, at all)

Thanks! :-)
I'll keep you posted. Currently I am still in the "if you build it"
phase...
But if everything goes according to the plan (which in academia usually
never does :-P), next year does sound like an enticing idea.
Best wishes,
Ico

Being one of the few LAD/LAU representatives in Asia I can say now that
an LAC here will be an uphill battle. Today I was at an audio trade show
in Bangkok where even the big names were having trouble getting a crowd.
That's not to say I'm not working on the possibility. Having
successfully planted the seed today I expect to see some movement over
the next couple of years assuming I stick around long enough to see it
through.
on the other hand the car show on the other side of the complex was
pumping. Maybe if I themed the event with big hot rods and sexy chicks
in thongs dancing on pillars it could work. Still we are missing some
cheesy Hip Hop and none of the old school rockers I know of use Linux to
record so the audio side of the show might not mesh with the theme.
Cheers.

i'll be there whether or not this attempt works out or not. there is
another meeting (FOMS) in .au in january that would also have been good
but i cannot justify travelling to .au for a couple of days to talk
about this stuff. alas, this may end up being the attitude of too many
people to any given gathering. mea culpa.
