Linux Audio Conference

Hi!

It's official:
The next Linux Audio Conference (LAC#8) will take place at the HKM in
Utrecht, Netherlands, from May 1st - 4th, 2010 (see
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010).

The Website already accepts paper submissions. See
http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/openconf 

Among the available categories for paper submission there is also VIDEO.
That's not strictly Audio but the two disciplines are close enough to
one another to allow opening up the conference scope a bit here. 

... tempted? :-)

Ciao!

99.99% of people glancing at lumiera.org first want to know if the
project is still alive, secondarily when a working program is due.
The RSS contains the most important information: the date of the Trac
activity. This is the project heartbeat. 

I would welcome any approach that sets a basic automatic feature and
leaves space for more advanced and manual solutions.

The RSS feed is cheap and harmless. It can be our safety net when we are
too busy with our jobs and can't give our lovely lumiera.org all the
care it needs.

I also proposed to link those quarterly news to fixed times, like the
German seasons, so to have a kind of a deadline: it's easier to remember
and organize.
For instance, the next quarterly news are due on 21 Dec. Are you ready
for the winter news?

I talked with grub_booter (kino, mlt, ...) and bilboed (pitivi) both are
interested, me too, ichthyo expressed interest also. Looks like we get
some open video developer meeting there! Burkhard and Richard how about
you? .. and Joel of course? and anyone else? :)

Dunno if we can make some presentation/talk maybe we can do something
together (Lumiera devs). Lets see.

For the others waiting for Lumiera, since we are now associated with the
ffis it would be possible to donate money to the Project. We decided to
spend such donations for covering costs for materials and developer
meetings/conferences (travel/accomodation) we opt for making this very

I'm tempted too.
I should be able to come, may be just for two days.
So it could be an openvideo users meeting too!

Thanks for your comments, Alan.
I think they are valuable and helpful.

Hi Stephen,

of course we could get into issues here, but our intention is to be
aware of the problem and very precisely define the range of versions
known to work.

To make this work, our plan is to have a bunch of virtual machines
running and our builddrone doing regular builds on each. But currently
we're just building regularly on the host system, which also is our
reference system (Debian/Lenny). While this isn't an immediately urgent
issue, we really do need help by volunteers to extend the builddrone
and set up virtual machines. Because this is exactly this kind of
stuff which is well defined and isolated and mostly just RTFM.

Btw: Ardour for a long time had a somewhat similar issue (is it resolved now?),
but they were handling it in a somewhat sub-optimal way. (At least that's my
opinion) They just shipped a bunch of libraries alongside with the tarball and
then stated that they won't support builds done with other libs. That's
understandable from a developers POV, but obviously, the first thing
most distributions did was to throw out those libs and replace them
with what was in the current distro. Obviously this caused quite
some friction.
Thus, for me the lession is: *if* we're detecting problems with
some library versions, then we need to have a look how things work
