To become a veteran you
have to become a newbie first. When we put
LinuxMusicians.com on air, we got the same replies. But I
think LinuxMusicians.com has proven to be a nice starting
platform for newbies who explore the possibilities of
Linuxaudio. For some it's a nice pre-step for the LAU
mailinglist.
I think we could do both. Helping newbies and turning people
into veteran linuxaudio guys. But both aims needs a
different approach.
True, and I'm all in for making the learning curve less
steep, but rebranding things with names that are unassociated
with them is IMO totally the wrong way to go.
Don't hit people getting intrested with all the terminology,
only use words that they will probably understand, I get it.
But calling it something that its not *just so people will
like it* is plain silly IMO.
I am not saying that we should use words which does describe what it
is in a wrong way... But that's not the case here imo.
A problem with the word OpenSource could make it harder to tweet
about Harrison Mixbus for instance though :) And those pieces of
software might be especially interesting for newbies...
Btw it wouldn't be a bad idea to also pay attention to OpenSource
software on Windows and Mac imo (Audacity, LinuxSampler etc.)
