It's a great bunch of guys - no women have applied as of yet - and
excellent musicians.

Well, I may have misstated the actual "working rules."  The original
gathering in 2008 committed to Linux, so Open Source as a requirement
may not be in effect this time around.

That's sounds like a worthy objective.  It's not a working genre for me
(I believe my heart lies most solidly within modal jamming), but I loved
my Arp Odyssey when I'd just fire up sample and hold and mess with the
envelope and the LFO, and let it do its thing while I attempted to layer
on some coherent, scratch that and leave it at colorful, guitar work.

In any event, as Drew notes, you don't need to commit to help us
Packet-In.  If you've got time and brain-space, check out the tracks as
they are uploaded and if anything catches your fancy, contribute
something and we'll add you to the attribution file (all our work's been
CC by SA).  Likewise feel free to play with a mix-down and offer it up
for consideration - that was something where we really missed Peter last
year, with him having done such a great job bringing our work alive in 2008.

In any, any, event, have a great time with the challenge.

Frank
