[Fedora-music-list] Media Production SIG and Rosegarden

[Callum Lerwick]

Hello everyone. I needed Rosegarden for a class, and since CCRMA isn't
built for FC5 and x86_64, I attempted to build the CCRMA source package
myself. And discovered I needed the latest Rosegarden to build with GCC
4.1, which changed to scons, which has some icky bugs, one of which I
fixed with a patch from Fernando I dug up on a mailing list, then I
discovered a bug in mock, etc... And since I went through all the effort
I submitted it to Extras.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189322

I did a lot of googling trying to find out if there was any activity as
far as merging CCRMA into Extras and found nothing recent. (It appears
this list was created shortly *after* I looked...) I had intended to
email Fernando directly but never got around to it. Heh.

I could use some advice on what to do about the timing problem... (Been
meaning to take that up on Rosegarden's mailing list...)

I took it upon myself to slap up a quickie SIG page on the wiki:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/MediaProduction

I chose the name Media Production. Media allows us to include video as
well (Cinelerra). Production emphasizes that distribution and
consumption (patented codecs, media players, PVRs, streaming servers...)
do not fall directly under the SIG's focus.

So does "Media Production SIG" sound good to everyone?

I've been doing my best to hurry up the review of jack. Its finals
week(s) so I'm busy, sleep deprived, and stressed out, however one of my
finals *is* for Digital Synth & Composition, so I can justify spending
at least some time on audio stuff. :)
