I'm starting to think that there is little point having a spin at all.
My original idea was that having the spin would encourage more users
to use Fedora and as a result create some kind of community (and
hopefully attract more upstream developers).
This hasn't happened. I'm too busy to blog, promote, berate the
goodness of the Jam etc. Maybe someone else is. Maybe we are not
promoting ourselves enough? I don't know. Maybe we are being lazy.
I am a Fedora user, and I use Fedora to make music. But for me personally
the Fedora Jam spin is not my choice. On my main computer I use the
standard Fedora desktop distribution with Gnome3, on my EeePC netbook I
use a lightweight LXDE spin. Then on top of these I install all the music
related packages that I need from the official Fedora, RPMFusion and
PlanetCCRMA repositories, including the kernel-rt package.
Why would I use Fedora Jam? I don't even like KDE.
The good thing is that, from the moment people started to think about a
special Musicians Spin several interesting packages, requested by members
of this mailinglist, have been added to the official Fedora repositories.
What I would like to see is that I could do something like:
# sudo yum groupinstall "Fedora Jam"
to install a nice selection of must-have music production software,
like what is now in the Fedora Jam spin, after installing the Fedora
version of my choice.
Well, I know, it's really easy for me to write down wishes and feature
requests. The real heroes are people like Brendan and others who have done
so much of the hard work.
