Of course that's not true at all. Absolutely everybody I've approached at LAC's has
responded positively to me saying "I'm a student, trying to learn <x>, do you have any advice?".
I don't think its really possible to be more welcoming, the target audience says:
"musicians, composers, sound artists, software developers, researchers and engineers".
Short of adding beginners & dabblers to that list, I don't know what to do ;)
I'm wondering if more attention could be drawn to the Linux Audio Conference,

even whether it might be seen as too geeky for most people.
Perhaps.. but I don't think "geeky" is a showstopper.
Incidentally I'm hoping to go this year (not registered yet), and for several
years I've thought about submitting some of my music
Do, and hope to see you there! -H
