If you're on this list, it's because we've had personal correspondence that has led me to believe you'd be interested in being on this list.
If I'm wrong, please feel free to unsubscribe yourself. :)
Let me first explain the general purpose of this list -- perhaps misnamed as fedora-music-list.
I've had on-and-off discussions with Fernando Lopez-Lezcano for several months now, in which we've sorta kinda thought about forging a stronger relationship between Fedora and Planet CCRMA. This list is the first attempt to bring a lot of people together around this effort.
We're got a lot to talk about, but I'm hoping that we can solve a few problems together. Like:
1. Can we pull some of the Planet CCRMA packages into Extras, and lighten Fernando's load by sharing the maintenance?
2. Can we figure out the optimal way to maintain a custom kernel that has the necessary realtime patches, and make it as easy as possible for people to install that kernel?
3. Can we use the new Magic in anaconda to make Planet CCRMA just another flavor of a standard Fedora install?
And other such questions.
In the short term, there's a number of Redhatters on this little list, and I'd like to scam whatever hardware we can to set up a Planet CCRMA demo system somewhere on the Centennial campus -- so people within the walls can see what's going on and get excited about it.
So. Anyone care to introduce themselves?
I'll start:
I'm Greg DeKoenigsberg. I've been with Red Hat for 5 years, the last 18 months as the Community Development Manager. Basically, that means I talk to cool people in the community and find projects that fit well with our current resources and interests. I think that Planet CCRMA is one of those projects, which is why I'm pimping it. :)

[Many thanks to Greg for keeping the email thread alive for quite a while... I'm also copying Chris Chafe, CCRMA's Director and, ahem, my boss :-]

Sure: my name is Fernando Lopez-Lezcano and I have been working here at CCRMA, Stanford University, since 1993[*].
I created and maintain Planet CCRMA, which is, just in case you don't know, a package collection that installs on top of Fedora Core (these days, the first versions - see the online changelogs - date back to 2001) and adds music and sound applications with a slant towards content creation. Planet CCRMA is a side effect of me maintaining a bunch of Linux workstations here at CCRMA, the environment we run (more or less) is what you can find in the repositories... I'll be glad to answer questions if you have any...
Best. -- Fernando

You are probably wrong, but not about this ;->

I can probably help a bit there. I've got some hardware at home I don't use that I could bring in. (MAudio Delta44 sound card, an edirol um880 8x8 midi interface, maybe a behringer mixer and a controller keyboard as well).
We'd need a machine or two. I think all my spare test machines have been claimed as pxe/kickstart/provisioning test boxes.

I'm Adrian Likins. I've been at Red Hat for about 7 1/2 years now. I'm currently working with our ET systems mangement group. I used to be the up2date maintainer. I play in a band or two, mostly improv noise/ambient kind of stuff. One of them (http://www.phasmatodea.net) licenses all of our music under a Creative Commons license.
I occasionaly use the computer as part of the process (but ahem, er, *cough* mostly under osx...). I intend to change that though (in particular, probably sooperlooper and freqtweak).

I'm Max Spevack. Internal to Red Hat, I'm the Fedora Project Lead, so I have a huge interest in seeing Fedora find ways to integrate better with stuff like CCRMA, and to explore how the work we do here can lay the groundwork for similar opportunities in the education world, or other niches where open source and linux have a real opportunity to impact The Way Things Are Done.
I've been at Red Hat a little under 2 years. And since we're talking about CCRMA, I am obliged to send a shout out to my Alma Mater back in Palo Alto. Go Card!

Great news!

I'm Ben Levenson. I currently lead the RHEL Release Test Team and have been in the Quality Assurance organization at Red Hat for 5+ years. Why do I care about Planet CCRMA? I'm a bedroom DJ, a novice knob twiddler (analog synth and drum machine), and am studying cello. I'd like to begin using some of the software in Planet CCRMA for digital music production. I'd love to see a 64-bit version of the software and am eager to help!
