Fwd: [NEW Spins websites] Functional spins
by Brendan Jones 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

Apologies for top posting. If anyone has any suggestions on the featured applications list for the spin website, please reply. Robert is also asking for icons, so if there are any goods ones you know of please let me know.

I think the websites should in some way interest you, in my eyes they are the connection between end users and Spin SIGs. I'm not worried about the description or the content we already have on the old spins.fpo website. I'd like to know from you which features are characteristic for your spin, you should also provide the SVG icon and a small text description. If this is not possible, please give us urgently a list of the features, as shown in: http://labs.stg.fedoraproject.org/it/design-suite/ http://labs.stg.fedoraproject.org/it/scientific/ You can reply to this email and I can look for the rest if you are not interested in providing icons or text. Sorry for speaking so frankly, but I really don't understand why only few SIGs are responsive here. We need to code the pages within this week to give l10n teams the chance to translate the websites in time. I hope to hear soon from you. Thank you.

The Spins you own actually will go under a complete new website, labs.fedoraproject.org.[1] We are already working on it and I made an example for the Design Suite to show you how it will look like. [2] All Spins will have their own space and therefore I'm asking you to help us with the content. I should be able to write all the rest, but as you can see we want to promote the most important features of every single Spin, in order to give end-users an overview of what they get when installing your spin. It would be very helpful if you could reply with a list of features and some short description of them, maybe also with an SVG of the icon if it's spin related. Otherwise I can try to find one somewhere else. We don't have much time left until F22 final release and labs.fpo will not be the only new website. Be so kind and try to get back to me ASAP, we need to code the pages and give translators some time to work on it. For any question o doubt feel free to contact me. Thank you.

Naming of Ardour packages
by Nils Philippsen 03 Jun '15

03 Jun '15

Hi all, with the advent of Ardour version 4, the question came up why the oldest available version 2 is packaged as "ardour" rather than the latest one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1216055#c15 The reason for keeping version 2 around is that while later versions can migrate old sessions, some information is lost in the process. Ardour version 3 became ardour3 so people could install both versions 2 and 3 side-by-side, and that the new package got reviewed instead of the old one (which would have been the case had I submitted an ardour2 package for review). In that vein I packaged version 4 as ardour4, also because ardour3-4.0.0 would have looked plain silly (despite that the session files are compatible between versions 3 and 4) and introducing a new major version replacing the old one with a substantially changed look-and-feel in an existing Fedora release is a big no-no. The question posed in the ardour4 review ticket is valid though, so I'd like to come up with a scheme for the future that achieves these objectives: - Installing "ardour" will always get you the latest available version (on a Fedora release -- e.g. F-20 won't get version 4 because the JACK package is too old). - Every major version gets its own package so side-by-side installs are possible, especially for occasions where the session format changes (like v2 -> v3). - Versions which are session-compatible with newer versions get retired from Fedora releases that aren't stable yet (e.g. v3 because the session format is the same as with v4). I'd do it like this (in Fedora >= 22): - Move version 2 to its own ardour2 package. This would get it re-reviewed but I guess that's a mere formality. - Reuse the ardour package as a meta-package which simply requires the latest versioned package. - Retire ardour3. What do you think?

Event's page: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/events/guest-colloquium-may-20th-juan-pampin-and… Artist Bios: *Juan Pampin* is Associate Professor of Music Composition at University of Washington, Seattle, and founding faculty member of the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media (DXARTS), for which he currently serves as Director. He graduated from Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Lyon, France, where he studied with Philippe Manoury and Denis Lorrain. He got a DMA from Stanford University where he studied composition with Jonathan Harvey and computer music at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). Juan Pampin’s works explore the territory delineated by the concepts of site, memory, and materiality through the use of algorithmic strategies to produce aural phenomena. His music compositions, including pieces for instrumental, digital, and mixed media, have been performed around the world by world-class soloists and ensembles such as Susana Kasakoff, Garth Knox, JACK quartet, Percussions de Strasbourg, Krakow Percussion Ensemble, to name just a few. His work "On Space" –for percussion sextet and 3D electronic sounds– has been recently released on CD as part of Les Percussions de Strasbourg 50th anniversary historical edition box published by Universal France. *Åke Parmerud* has successfully pursued a professional career in contemporary music and multi-media art since the late 70’s. Although he originally trained as a photographer ( 1972-74 ) he went on to study music at university and subsequently the Göteborg Conservatory of Music. In addition to his electro-acoustic and instrumental music, his prolific list of works includes compositions covering a broad cross-section of modern experimental music in the fields of dance, film, interactive art, multi-media, theatre and video. Åke’s work has been acclaimed since his piece “Proximities” received first prize at the 1978 Bourges International Electroacoustic Music Festival in France. Since then he has received 17 international prizes and 3 major Swedish prizes (see prizes and awards <http://parmerud.com/MediaArtist/Awards.html>). On two occasions he has also received the Swedish “grammy” award for Best Classical Album of the Year and his music has represented Swedish Radio twice at The Prix Italia. He is regularly commissioned to compose works by important international institutions and his works have been presented worldwide. In 1997 his piece “Grains of Voices” was performed at the U.N in New York on United Nations Day. His music has been released on numerous albums and compilations, and in 1998 he became a member of The Swedish Royal Academy of Music. Åke Parmerud is not just a composer he is also a stage performer, playing electro-acoustic concerts using many different types of interactive instruments - often solo. He has toured extensively in Europe, North and South America. In the late 80’s he teamed-up with composer Anders Blomqvist, and their live performances - which included fireworks - were successful all round Europe well into the 90’s. The last ten years have seen Åke working as an innovative sound and software designer for interactive audio/visual installations. His own works “The Fire Inside”, “The Living Room” and “Lost Angel” have been shown in Berlin, Göteborg, Leon, Mexico City, Paris and Reykavic. He has also designed concerts and been artistic director for large audio/visual events both indoors and outdoors. Åke’s artistic reputation has led to several creative international collaborations. Between 1999 and 2006 he worked closely with the Danish “art team” Boxiganga <http://www.boxiganga.dk/>, developing revolutionary interactive video installations plus exploring telematic concepts and interactive solutions for live performances. In 2000, 2001 and 2002 he also worked with Canadian choreographer Pierre-Paul Savoi <http://www.ppsdanse.com/>as composer, sound and software designer. His most recent stage work “Metamorphos” was developed together with Canadian dance choreographer Mireille Leblanc <http://www.mireilleleblanc.com/> who also choreographed the interactive sound/video-installation “Lost Angel” and the prize winning dance performance ”The Seventh Sense”. He recently formed AudioTechture <http://www.audiotechture.se/> with Olle Niklasson. This is a company specialising in acoustic interior design for diverse environments from private houses to public spaces. He is also a member of an international multi-media/multi-disciplinary arts organisation: Celestial Mekaniks. <http://celestialmekaniks.com/> Best, Madeline

Review request: ardour2
by Nils Philippsen 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hi all, as discussed, we want to rename the ardour package to ardour2 to avoid that people inadvertently install this old version. Too bad, this needs a review of the renamed package: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1219948 I'd be grateful if somebody would take care of it. Thanks!

Review request: ardour4
by Nils Philippsen 08 May '15

08 May '15

Hi folks, took me a while but I've submitted ardour4 for review to be included in Fedora 21+: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1216055 I'd be very grateful if someone would pick up the review. I've also built binary packages in copr, so if you want to give the new version a whirl, you can do so by enabling the nphilipp/ardour4 copr repo, and installing ardour4. These should later smoothly transition over to the official packages when there are any, so have fun!
