feeds.
Definitely automated updates on content will be a big part of it though.
Is that really what we want though? Automatic feeds?

When I started to use Linux few years back to produce music, what I
wanted to know is: what software to use, what can they do, few
audio/video examples to judge by myself if that was what I was looking
for.

I stumbled accross a few of these automatic generated feeds, and to be
honest they didn't tell me much.

Shouldn't we start by deciding the audience we want to reach?
We don't really want to "advertise" to the advanced users, they
already know where to look.
And I'm afraid the "newbe" would be overwhelmed by an automatic feed.

What I had in mind was this:
- A single campaign on facebook/twitter/google+ around the major
actors of FOSS music software (like Ardour, LMMS, Hydrogen, etc...)
- A simple message
- And see how that goes to repeat the experience (or not!)

For a social media campaign to get any momentum we will need to have a
nice landing page for people to view the message and tweet/post to make it
trend.
I could think of a "meta-page" which includes short descriptions of linux audio programs along with screenshots and videos in a fancy layout. And, what would be more important for me, informations about how those applications can interact. The other thing that is interesting for newbie is a recommendation for hardware. Just recommend one or two device per category (usb, fw, pci..) that are working well.
I would love such a page. And i don't speak about another forum here..
