I cannot begin to describe how much I disagree with "rebranding" what is being done to make it go big.

Turning them into a veteran linux audio guys: that's a better goal.
Restating: I disagree with the idea of "marketing" names for what we do. People will be draw to the comunity *because* of what we do, not because of *how we brand* what we do.
That's not a bad idea. And its being done already to some degree, check @linuxsound, it posts links to all LAU mails. If we done the same for the LAA list, that might suffice for the "Grab it here" style messages?
I am not a marketing expert, but words like 'Linux', 'FLOSS' might be frightening people. 'Opensource', 'Ardour' and 'Ubuntu' (and probably Creative Commons) are words which lay much better in 'the market'...

The guys from LMMS for example (as other projects), could mention that account when posting a message.
'LMMS 0.9 is out! Grab it at http://lmms.org #lmms #opensourceaudio @opensourceaudio'
