Uzoma,
Greg DeK and I were meeting today and your email spawned an idea-- its
time for those of us interested within Red Hat to hold an internal
opensourceapalooza of some sort. Greg says he'll take the lead. Our team
will gladly facilitate.

Hello, I'm Uzoma Nwosu. I'm a Level 1 Support Engineer in GSS. Just
started in January. Can't say I have any skills. I've been a techno
dj for almost 17 years, now. My radio show was one of the early shows
unofficially broadcasting over the net on wxyc (I didn't set up the
first stream, my dj partner at the time did while he was at Sunsite).
I throw parties. And I am one of the organizers of signal: the
southeast electronic music festival (www.signalfest.com).
What I would hope that we can do is really get the cream of the crop
audio apps in fedora extras. I would really love to see audio have a
higher profile in the linux community. And I gladly help in any way
that I can to promote this.
As for hardware, I've got a SB Live, and an Audigy (can't remember
which one). I'll have an old custom built Amd 1800 with 300Gb drive
and 512Mb RAM that I can donate once I get my new machine in.
I know some of you are way more technical that I'll ever be but can we
have a dialog of the big picture as far as apps are concerned? What
is the criteria for bringing programs in? Is there any way that we
not bring 10 billion audio tools that do the same thing? Oh, and here
are a few apps that I am interesting in helping to bring in:
Mixxx - the closest usable digital dj app that I've found
LMMS - Because it actually works like Fruity Loops a good for early
adoption for novices
Rosegarden - Haven't played with it but here it is solid
Ardour - Played with it, looks solid, wish it had docs
That's probably thinking way too far ahead, but I wanted to get that
out there.
Uzoma
