Hi<br>
<br>
I'm one of Fedoras Google Summer of Code students. I have been tasked in helping to develop an Audio spin of fedora. I just wanted to Let you know a little about the project so that you have a heads up and so you know what's on the horizon :D<br>
<br>
The audio spin is a spin that is geared for music production, and is aimed at the music community. We are aiming for high usability so that if someone who just makes a podcast once a week and doesn't necessarily know who to configure JACK can use it with ease, but at the same time it will include software that will allow bigger music productions.<br>
The spin itself does not have a wiki page, but I will be making one in the next couple of days with schedules, todos, roadmaps etc. but you can see a brief overview at the audio_creation_spin_<u></u>development page[1]<br>
<br>
I'm pushing to have the kickstart file ready by June 1st, I'm hoping this is a good date, as I based it on the schedule for Fedora 16 and I have no idea what the schedule for fedora 18 is<br>
<br>
If there are any questions, don't hesitate to take contact<br>
