Hey all, GSOC has been announced for this year. If you have any ideas for the audio SIG, add them to the ideas page [1]. We lumped Jorn with a lot of ill-defined stuff to complete last year, and yet we still ended up with a nightly audio distro, which is a first. One project that comes to mind is finishing off Jorn's fedora-jam app, but we can only do this if we define exactly what it is supposed to do. Another I was thinking about was a documentation project albeit outside of Fedora. More of a Linux Audio user manual, based on what Chris has done, but packaged as a distro-agnostic project in its' own right (i.e. with examples, samples, project files etc). Something that can be packaged for use across all distributions? (the coding component would be to determine where everything lives - ie. the Makefile, make && make install etc). Just an idea I'm sure there are many other ideas to be had. I don't think I want to necessarily be a mentor this year, but there's more than enough of this list that will qualify. I would probably throw my hat in for the ultimate quintessential audio console which finally bridges jack and pulseaudio in an intuitive manner. jam-control Mach #2. Will definitely be available to co-mentor regards, Brendan [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_coding_ideas_for_2013 _______________________________________________ music mailing list music(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/music

One thing I've always felt was lacking from Linux multimedia creation was a sense of workflow that new users could latch onto. By this, I mean that I have friends who want to start using things like QJackCtl, Qtractor, JSampler, etc, but have no idea how they all fit together or what else they might want to integrate into their setups (ie, Jack Rack, Jack Capture, Calf, etc)
