connection to linuxaudio.org?

Post by studio32 »

Hi,

I think this forum is a great initiative, but it also can make things a litle bit 'spread up' in linux audio user community.

Maybe it's a good idea to connect this forum to linuxaudio.org.( http://www.linuxaudio.org/ , http://portal.linuxaudio.org/ ) ... it's just a first suggestion and I do not know how the ones of linuxaud are thinking about this. But a connection (whatever the exact link) would be good for the community and this forum...

Just think about it...

ps: I didn't know this one: http://lad.linuxaudio.org/events/

It does seem that this forum fits well with what LinuxAudio is doing, even though I think we will have some discussions that extend beyond the scope of only audio. I would love to enter into some kind of partnership with them...do have any ideas as to what I might suggest to their admins?

If you sent it to nathan(at)linuxmusicians.com, it probably did not get through as that address is currently down. Please resend to nathan(at)productivelinux.com.

Read this on the LAU list :

'Hey Linuxaudio.org'ers,

It's been a while, and we're behind several announcements..

First of all: linuxaudio.org is doing fine.

Second I'll briefly mention a statement of our Director:

Ivica Ico Bukvic wrote : "We need to start thinking about the function
of the management board. This aspect has been all but dead. How about we
announce restructuring of the board and go from there? My suggestion is
to retain the core of those of us who are most active and then add key
figures in the community who will be active contributors to our cause."

No surprise there. Further discussion may or may not follow on
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/consortium/ - and last but not least:

Holger Ballweg has stepped forward and done an amazing job updating
http://apps.linuxaudio.org/. We went on to http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/
which is finally due an official announcement:

* http://wiki.linuxaudio.org
open to public (openID/CAPTCHA)

Everybody is welcome to use this wiki for gnu/Linux and FLOSS audio
related projects or communication. Feel free to ask for additional
permissions or plugins. - send your project application or suggestions
to LAD, start writing a wiki page about it or send a patch ;)

We would like to support maintained and moderated namespaces adopted by
members of the community; balancing http://linuxaudio.org/members in
favor of interest groups. We have neither intentions nor budget to take
on wiki.ubuntu.com or wikipedia. Commercial interest is tolerated.
Professional interest in linux-audio is more or less a prerequisite. The
usual exceptions apply for Music, Art, etc. see http://linuxaudio.org/policy

..and we're not going to stop there.

Here's a quick overview of HTTP services, vhosts and tasks. Any comments
and suggestions are appreciated; as is help getting there:

* http://lad.linuxaudio.org - will be consolidated into drupal
(http://www.linuxaudio.org) and wiki.linuxaudio.org. - Apart from the
http://lad.linuxaudio.org/events/ (lots of pictures and media) there's
only 16 HTML pages. - similarly lowlatency.linuxaudio.org should become
an entry-point to the wiki.

* http://lad.linuxaudio.org/events/ should be merged with
http://lac.linuxaudio.org

* http://portal.linuxaudio.org, http://linuxaudio.org,
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/
Drupal CMS is edited and maintained by the consortium.


We're urgently looking for 2-5 Content Maintainers (and Guitarists) so
that some of us can take a holiday break.

Besides in the longer term we're looking for volunteers to summarize or
comment on a LAD/LAU thread once in a while, and editors to write short
articles in the likes of kerneltrap.org.


* http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/ is actually the same as
http://apps.linuxaudio.org/wiki/ - vhosts will be merged, redirect..

linuxaudio.org is going to stick to /international english/ for wiki
pages - We'll gladly link to non-english LAO sites - If you're in need
we can provide hosting or bandwidth/mirroring solutions for these.

* http://apps.linuxaudio.org/wiki/request
bookmarklet in beta test. Easy way to submit new apps.

* http://lau.linuxaudio.org and http://quicktoots.linuxaudio.org/
probably remain as is. There are a lot of hidden resources there! -
Maybe some minor updates on the front-page. point to the wiki or portal.

* http://ladspavst.linuxaudio.org/ - great as it is.

* http://ccmixter.linuxaudio.org - for a short time.around
http://www.linuxaudio.org/mailarchive/lau/2007/11/15 we set up a
bare-bone ccmixter.org intended for Music-Made-With-Linux. Should you
desire to style and maintain a ccmixter community: here's your chance.

* http://radio.linuxaudio.org/
Anyone interested? shall we stream random songs from lam.fugal.net ?!
repeat talks from the LAC? or better no-stream than some weird random mix?

* for http://forum.linuxaudio.org/ we started collaboration withhttp://linuxmusicians.com/


If you don't like the current style/template: We're challenging
web-designers to come up with a better one.
The consortium-site is a http://drupal.org ; apps & wiki a
http://dokuwiki.org CMS. - get in contact with us on the LAD mailing list.


thanks for your attention,
robin for the linuxaudio.org team.'


And now hit this http://forum.linuxaudio.org/ ;)
....
What about our wiki, can't we work together on that too? It's somewhat stupid to have to english linux audio wiki's isn't? Maybe we can do a part (newbies...etc. (I think we do a pretty good job) and maybe linuxaudio.org could make pages with more backround and technical information (I think their knowledge level about kernels, etc etc, is a bit higher)...

mm got to think about this....cause we want to work together as much as possible, but we aren't linuxaudio.org but linuxmusicians.com ....
