Hi all,
Here's a quick update regarding latest developments:
Last couple months have been incredibly busy. One of the things I've been

working on is getting us a dedicated high-bandwidth access. Since the

release of UbuntuStudio our server has been running steadily at 110% of

network bandwidth utilization. Thanks to the hard work of our volunteers the

server has not melted (yet, :-). This week, I've had already half-dozen

meetings (whenever I am subjected to such a torture, I feel as if my IQ has

irreparably dropped ;-), some of which pertained directly to the aforesaid

predicament. At this point I am unable to promise anything but as long as

everything goes as planned, as early as this fall we may be able to move our

server to a dedicated Internet2 node (meaning practically guaranteed

100MB+/second connection). Our more immediate plan is to replace the

existing server with a dedicated Linux box which would run off of a

dedicated 100mBit connection. So, let's keep our fingers crossed!
I have been getting steady stream of questions about Linuxaudio.org's

participation in various conferences. Given that we are still unable to

generate revenue, I am wondering if we could organize a group of

Linuxaudio.org ambassadors who, whenever they would participate in various

events/conferences/expos, would also do some PR for us. If interested,

please contact me asap. Please  also mention event you are interested in

covering so that we can minimize overalp. Since I believe in leading by

example, I have already made plans to cover this year's ICMC which is going

to take place in Copenhagen next month ;-). If any of you plan on being

there, please make sure to look me up, so that we can go for a pint or two.
So much for now. Stay tuned for more updates!
Best wishes,
Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A.
