I'm way to busy with LAMPSIG SCALE coordination and co teaching the weekly PHP Class and starting up BSD UG, and my Web Spinners this Saturday, to do more than just write this one email. The LAMPSIG PHP class will not meet on LULA Tuesday any more, so I will be at LULA. _______________________________________________ Planning mailing list Planning at lula.org http://www.lula.org/mailman/listinfo/planning From brianwredfern at yahoo.com Thu Feb 24 20:54:00 2005 From: brianwredfern at yahoo.com (Brian Redfern) Date: Thu, 24 Feb 2005 17:54:00 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Planning] proposal for may lula meeting presentation Message-ID: <20050225015400.60169.qmail@web54006.mail.yahoo.com> Hi guys, I have a proposal for the May meeting. I'm a part of the "Hip Chips" world-wide festival of laptop music. However instead of doing a conventional laptop music show at a club, I'd rather do a lecture/demo/interactive jam session for the May LULA meeting. What I'd like to do is first talk about making music with Linux on laptops, some of the issues that must be overcome, and suggested distro's to use to build a linux music laptop. Then I'll do a demo performance with some of my favorite music software, to show what can be done musically with linux, and then I want to open things up to let people attending the meeting to come up and try their hand at jamming with linux music software. This would take the whole meeting time, but since it would be advertised on the Hip Chips site and Ars Electronica, there may be a good sized turnout. Anyways just a change of pace from talking about linux as a server. Also since its focussed on music, its not a talk that would be more appropriate for the Linux Movies group. I would like to do this in May to give myself some time to setup a demo machine, and to get Andrew Morton's new low latency patches for 2.6 working. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Knowing if this would be possible sooner rather than later would be good, because if not possible I'd like to see what time other LUGS might have available during their March meetings.

Maybe you should start planning a talk for that day. If he gets back to us in the next week or so, we can still give him the slot, otherwise I'm tempted to say it's yours, or at least that you get the first half-hour. - Dan SML wrote: > Has there been a confirmation? > > Thanks. > > /SML > > > > >>Hi Brantley, >>still interested in speaking on March 15th at LULA?

Goodness. I could have sworn somebody mentioned they had a talk they wanted to do for February, but I guess not; I can't find the message. It might be fairest to all to cancel the Febrary meeting; everyone will be tired from SCALE anyway... - Dan -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer?
