Hey guys, I was at the Southern California Linux Expo (SCaLE) this weekend to work the Fedora booth. Just wanted to let you all know that I brought a laptop with the spin installed on it, set it up with a Fast Track Pro, mic, keyboard, keyboard stand, and a guitar.I was running Ardour, Hydrogen, Guitarix, and Qsynth,I had done a cover song in Ardour/Hydrogen, and was ready to help people start adding to it/messing with it.Surprising to me, not that many people really cared about the recording but a TON of people were shocked by the guitar/effects and wanted to play. At times it drew a fairly large crowd and started a ton of conversations that we wouldn't have had at the booth without it.We actually won the "Most Interesting Booth" award from SCaLE.Some interesting things I took away from conversations with people who stopped by:1) Several Asked if there was a group install (so like +5 on that idea)2) Many of these people weren't real linux users and asked if there were specific instructions on how to set it up. Two of these asked if there was a youtube video showing how to do it, which I think is a great idea, and I'll do if no one else wants to pick it up.3) Two people asked if there was any music that was recorded with Jam, I didn't know of any, and I can't think of anyone who has. Anyone have any input on this?5) Several people were asking for Ableton-like programs and I didn't know of any that were on the spin.4) What do you guys think about a Fedora Activity Day where we can maybe do a joint effort for a group recording project? Not quite sure how that would look, but I think it's doable.
There are a few other easy fixes for us to change on the spin, but I'll address those later. Great job guys!I wish I had remembered to take pictures of the rig, but I didn't. I'll look for a few and see if I can get one.
