Annoncing The Fedora Sound SIG

[Onyeibo Oku]

Today we announce the Fedora Sound SIG. Our goal is to create free (as
in freedom) Sound themes and make them available in the Fedora
repositories.

Fedora has a huge selection of Software, but lacks a good selection of
sound themes. We want to fix that issue, by creating free, high-quality
sound themes, and make them easily installable in Fedora.  All themes
will be created only with free software that is available on Fedora.
We need help!

We need help from anyone who can help us achieving this goal. Musicians,
Packagers, Developers, Contributors with good ideas, testers, and more.

Join now to #fedora-sound at irc.freenode.net!

<*This news is also on the Planet>

[Fabian A. Scherschel]

What kind of stuff are you looking for? I know several open source musicians
that might be interested to help and produce top notch work.

We are looking for anyone who can and want to help. We are not limited
to specific instruments, and we are open for ideas.

Is this for login sounds and the like? I'm not sure what you mean because
the only thing I know about this is that pretty much all Linux distros and
also other operating systems have been cutting these things more and more
down.

Login, alerts, new email and such. We have a wiki page with a bit more
info [1] and you can read the sound theme spec [2] to get a list of
usable sounds (the basics will be enough for most themes, but we would
really like to have complete themes nevertheless)

The sound of Silence can be soothing sometimes.  In certain conditions
they can be brutal.  Fedora Users should be allowed that choice.
Sometimes my PC displays an error when I'm away from the keyboard, and
I'm not aware ... event sounds helps in that area.  By installing
'kid-friendly' themes we could also encourage children to identify with
the product --> another Fedora Marketing gimmick.  Users should be able
to toggle off/on those they can live with/without.

Sometimes the Cut is there because they are installed by the
applications that need them.

Hi Fab

That's exactly what we're looking for:
'open-source musicians that might be interested to help and produce top
notch work'

We have an explanatory wiki:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/Sound

Please encourage them to hang out with us at #fedora-sound IRC channel.

Thanks
