What's the venue and time?

For those of you not familiar with Gerald's work, he is a true innovator - and 
a technology fiend too! In the UK he is best known as a pioneer of acid 
house, which kicked off the whole 'rave' thing.

In my generalisation, I didn't mean that there are zero musicians with the 
necessary code skills. But consider my proposition in terms of sets - out of 
all the musicans in the world, only a subset have access to electricity. A 
subset of those have access to a computer. A subset of those run Linux. And a 
final subset have the advanced system configuration knowledge required to 
build and maintain the kernel, jack, applications etc. Out of that relatively 
very small group, some of the members would prefer to practise their 
instrument or mix their album than tinker with software.

In my own case, I have compiled kernels in the past, and got jack running from 
scratch, but with ready-made RPMs I can avoid duplicating effort and get on 
with creative work. Thanks to people like Thac and Austin I can now start 
editing the 40+ tracks we've recorded with the minimum of hassle.

Cheers

Daniel
