Linux Audio Conference 2015 - Call for Participation
(Due to exceptional circumstances, this announcement comes a bit late,
so please note the early deadline of Feb 1st for submissions. We
apologize.)
We are happy to announce the next issue of the Linux Audio Conference
(LAC), April 9-12, 2015 @ JGU | Johannes Gutenberg University, in
Mainz, Germany.
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2015/
The Linux Audio Conference is an international conference that brings
together musicians, sound artists, software developers and researchers,
working with Linux as an open, stable, professional platform for audio
and media research and music production. LAC includes paper sessions,
workshops, and a diverse program of electronic music.
*Call for Papers, Workshops, Music and Installations*
We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing
and media creation based on Linux and other open source software. Papers
can focus on technical, artistic and scientific issues and should target
developers or users. In our call for music, we are looking for works
that have been produced or composed entirely/mostly using Linux and
other open source music software.
The online submission of papers, workshops, music and installations is
now open at http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2015/participation
The deadline for all submissions is Feb 1st, 2015 (23:59 HAST).
You are invited to register for participation on our conference website.
There you will find up-to-date instructions, as well as important
information about dates, travel, lodging, and so on.
This year's conference is hosted by the Computer Music Research Group
(Bereich Musikinformatik) at the IKM (Institut für Kunstgeschichte und
Musikwissenschaft) of the Johannes Gutenberg University (JGU) at
Mainz. Being founded in 1991, our research group has been among the
first German academic institutions in this interdisciplinary field at
the intersection of music, mathematics, computer science and media
technology. In our media lab students are working almost exclusively
with Linux, and in our research we are also devoted to contributing to
the growing body of open source audio and computer music software.

We look forward to your submissions and hope to meet you in Mainz in
April!
Sincerely,
The LAC 2015 Organizing Team

New subject: Crossfade GNU/Linux 0.90: Fedora Remix for DJing from USB drives
Crossfade GNU/Linux 0.90 is a cross-platform digital DJ system for USB
flash and portable hard drives. Crossfade GNU/Linux allows you to use a
USB drive with your music collection to DJ on any modern PC (with an x86
or x86_64 CPU), including Apple Macs, using the DJ program Mixxx
customized however you like. USB drives with Crossfade GNU/Linux
installed on them show up in Windows, Mac OS X, and GNU/Linux as normal
USB drives that music or any other data can be copied onto. Unlike
ordinary USB drives, they can also be used to boot Crossfade GNU/Linux.
After rebooting, the PC will be back to how it was before. See the
manual included in the torrent for installations instructions.
Get the torrent here:
http://linuxtracker.org/download.php?id=054465878ca40308a585654d3859786df...
Please seed the torrent! :)
Crossfade GNU/Linux and Mixxx are free software--free as in artistic
freedom, not just price. You are free and encouraged to use, copy,
*share*, and modify this software however you wish and share your
changes with the community here. Sharing Crossfade GNU/Linux can be a
great way to encourage friends to start DJing or introduce DJs who use
proprietary software such as Traktor, Serato Scratch, Serato Itch, or
Virtual DJ to free software without having to commit to installing
anything on their PC.
Crossfade GNU/Linux is setup with a realtime Linux kernel for optimal
performance. It includes the Xfce graphical desktop environment, Midori
web browser, and Clementine music player. It has a number of other
programs for live musical performance including the Hydrogen drum
machine, SooperLooper and Giada loopers, Guitarix electric guitar
amplifier, Rakarrak guitar effects board, Ardour digital audio
workstation,Audacity wave editor, and many LV2 and LADSPA audio effects
plugins. Additionally, Crossfade GNU/Linux includes utilities that make
it useful as a computer rescue system, such as the GParted partition
manager, GNU GRUB bootloader, TestDisk data recovery program, FSArchiver
filesystem backup program, and MATE Disk Usage Analyzer. Crossfade
GNU/Linux is a Fedora Remix containing software from sources other than
Fedora, namely RPMFusion and PlanetCCRMA, as well as scripts and
configuration specific to Crossfade GNU/Linux.
To do:
-Confirm that USB drives are readable by CDJs. I do not have CDJs so
help would be appreciated! (DJ Pegasus also mentioned it should be
readable by his car stereo... o.O)
-A logo and desktop background. I have a sketch on paper for a logo. Now
I need to learn how to use Inkscape.
-Internationalization. Does anyone want to volunteer to translate the
liveusb-install script and manual?
I am thinking about ordering custom USB drives with the logo printed on
them to sell with Crossfade preloaded. They would be either 16, 32, or
64 GB, depending on how much it would cost to make each of those. They
would be metal cylinders with tight screw-on caps. The caps would be
able to attach to key rings. I will try to get USB 3.0 drives if
possible. I don't know what the price would be yet, but I am thinking
somewhere from $10-25 USD. Would anyone be interested in buying that?
How much would you be willing to pay for it?

Be,
I am familiar with this thing, "linux", and really your little distro
sounds interesting and, as I have a need for something like this for a
party coming up in two weeks, I might just try it out.
Two questions:
1. is it Fedora-based or are you just promoting it here based on the
music aspect?
2. where can I find your logo sketch? I can't make any promises, but I
know my way around inkscape.
Cheers,
Klaatu
