Apologies for cross-posting. Please forward the announcement to your respective lists (if applicable). Yes, it's that time of the year. In our continued bi-monthly track of membership drives, I would like to extend an open invitation to all Linux audio projects who are not already a member of the consortium to consider joining and therefore help us continue our efforts at consolidation of Linux audio resources. The membership is free and the consortium's structure allows members to gauge their level of involvement and subsequently the time overhead it bears. In the recent months there have been a number of exciting new projects introduced to the Linux audio scene. This is very encouraging as it suggests not only continued, but also growing vitality of our platform of choice. Linuxaudio.org's mission is to help maintain this vitality by offering various programs to its membership base as well as the entire Linux audio community. Perhaps one of the most important programs is our mission to consolidate Linux audio resources and by doing so foster collaboration as well as connections with the commercial industry and outside investors. For this reason, I sincerely hope that you will consider joining the consortium. For more info on the membership, benefits, etc. please visit linuxaudio.org. We have our next new member announcement set for this coming Thursday November 2nd. Should you happen to have any additional questions and/or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
