Hello, some information for those of you, who are already about to book their flights: Frank and I are currently working out the schedule for the 2nd LAD conference (29.4.-2.5.2004, ZKM, Karlsruhe, Germany). We will have more than 30 talks plus 4 concerts and several workshops in 4 days, which will make the programme quite dense. Therefore we really have to spread the programme over the full 4 days. The conference will start on 29.4.2004 at 11:00 with the keynote by Dave Phillips. It will end on 2.5.2004 with a panel discussion on the future of Linux Audio, scheduled between 16:00 and 18:00. The complete programme will be published on www.zkm.de/lad next week. We already know of some speakers who plan to travel to Karlsruhe one day before the conference starts. Since the conference programme is so dense that it will give little room for e.g. a city tour, Frank and I are considering to offer this already for Wednesday, 28.4.2004.
