Re: new! linuxmusicians.com

You know the funny thing is, there are many sites and discussion boards where there is Linux audio interest to _some_ extent but at the end of the day, it's "just another topic". Alright, so we say there  are already www.linuxaudio.org and the various MLs, but come to think of it there has been no such initiative where the goal is to gather like-minded people  via a hub. Even if there were, it's probably a failure by now.

Sure, a mailing list serves its purpose - discussion. However, there's a limit to what can be exchanged   through this method. A centralized location with access to a forum, wiki, and frontpage news cuts it, cleanly and well. The thing is, most of the userbase is filled with hobbyists, engineers, developers etc. and hence there being a cultural divide between different kinds of musicians/audio professionals. Those new to free software will certainly _not_ have an easy time fitting in with  our culture. In light of this, I thank the person/team behind this forum for taking the right step towards forming a healthy community.
