Same here as in the Fedora side, not enough manpower (and not enough

I tend to agree, just wanted to reiterate my offer from another place
in this thread. If there were enough interest to do 'Planet CCRMA
Audio Workstation, a Fedora Remix'[1], I and people like me would burn
and carry around copies. Especially if it were able to run as a live
Linux from a CD, DVD, or USB thumb drive, I would give copies to all
my musician and audio friends to boot to and try out.
It's the difference between, "Already-committed so I am going to install
and enable a repo," and "I don't know that Linux can work for me as a
musician/producer/podcaster/etc." I talk with far more of the latter
at FOSS events, etc.
I can't guarantee numbers, but I'm sure if you had an audio remix
available that people knew about, the Fedora Ambassadors around the
globe would start handing them out for the same reasons I said above.
