However, the reason that I am asking here is because I was under the impression that there were a lot of Germans on this list who like the following: 1: Linux Audio 2: Multimedia hardware and related technology 3: Doing interesting things at interesting locations The driving thing just happens to be my (apparently false) view of one of the (probably many) things that makes a German go giddy. However it might also be that this list is not representative of the average German as you have rightly stated that there seems to be a lot of people driving in Germany. Considering that you are not German but have instead moved to Germany to find work because you had nothing happening in your own country I would have thought you would be more supportive of a potential job opportunity coming via this list from another long term Linux Audio person (18 years and counting). -- Patrick Shirkey Boost Hardware Ltd _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
