If you're on this list, it's because we've had personal correspondence that has led me to believe you'd be interested in being on this list. If I'm wrong, please feel free to unsubscribe yourself. :) Let me first explain the general purpose of this list -- perhaps misnamed as fedora-music-list. I've had on-and-off discussions with Fernando Lopez-Lezcano for several months now, in which we've sorta kinda thought about forging a stronger relationship between Fedora and Planet CCRMA. This list is the first attempt to bring a lot of people together around this effort. We're got a lot to talk about, but I'm hoping that we can solve a few problems together. Like: 1. Can we pull some of the Planet CCRMA packages into Extras, and lighten Fernando's load by sharing the maintenance? 2. Can we figure out the optimal way to maintain a custom kernel that has the necessary realtime patches, and make it as easy as possible for people to install that kernel? 3. Can we use the new Magic in anaconda to make Planet CCRMA just another flavor of a standard Fedora install? And other such questions. In the short term, there's a number of Redhatters on this little list, and I'd like to scam whatever hardware we can to set up a Planet CCRMA demo system somewhere on the Centennial campus -- so people within the walls can see what's going on and get excited about it. So. Anyone care to introduce themselves? I'll start: I'm Greg DeKoenigsberg. I've been with Red Hat for 5 years, the last 18 months as the Community Development Manager. Basically, that means I talk to cool people in the community and find projects that fit well with our current resources and interests. I think that Planet CCRMA is one of those projects, which is why I'm pimping it. :) --g ------------------------------------------------------------- Greg DeKoenigsberg || Fedora Project || fedoraproject.org Be an Ambassador || http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors -------------------------------------------------------------
