Hello (new fedora-music member)

[Orcan Ogetbil]

Hello,
I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Orcan Ogetbil. I am a
theoretical physicist, recently graduated from Penn State University.
I have been using Redhat Linux/Fedora since Redhat 7.2 . I play mainly
bass, also guitar and some percussion and I compose in my free time.
Here you can find some of my work (sorry, mp3 only):

http://www.phys.psu.edu/~oogetbil/music

I have been using ardour+hydrogen quite extensively (the above work is
done entirely with these applications) and PlanetCCRMA has been one of
my most frequent stops to obtain kernel-rt and audio applications.

I recently started packaging for Fedora. My packages include
tuxguitar, hydrogen-drumkits, TSE3, musixtex, kguitar; where the last
two are awaiting review. Until today, I wasn't aware of the existence
of such a SIG. Actually, I was thinking of starting such a SIG lately.
It looks like I am a little late. Very well...

Before sending this email, I did some work on the wiki, mainly created
some tables to ease the categorization of sound applications. I will
work on it more, but it will make things a lot easier for me if
everybody adds his/her audio application to the relevant table.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AudioCreation

Also, if you have an audio creation application awaiting a review,
please put it on the second table. It will attract more attention and
this way we can get our applications faster into Fedora.

I will add to the wishlist in the following days as I made a list of
interesting audio applications that would be good to include in
Fedora.

Please feel free to modify/add to/improve/undo what I did in the wiki.

Orcan

I want something like Hyperscore (http://www.hyperscore.com) for Linux!

Apparently it would be very hard to do . .

Phil.

Today, I revised PlanetCCRMA's muse and submitted it to Fedora, CC'ing Fernando:
   https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=483301

I saw that no one entered any information to the wiki yet, although I
thought I made it very easy.

Is this SIG dead? Is there anyone else working now, besides me?

If you think that entering your existing audio creation software
package information to the wiki is too much work, can you please give
me the package name(s) that you maintain so I can do it for you?

Thanks,
Orcan

Thanks!
Moving things from Planet CCRMA to Fedora is a good thing. Let me know
if you would be interested in other packages, I could make a wish
list...

The SIG is hopefully not dead :-)
Most probably other contributors have not had time to catch up yet...

Kudos for your help!

Greetings Fernando! Being a big fan of PlanetCCRMA, I would be happy
to be a part of this integration. There are many packages that can be
moved to Fedora and there are some packages that would lose
functionality if they are moved. As an example, qtractor can be
compiled against libmad which we don't have at Fedora because of legal
issues. Having an MP3 decoding capability is significant and I
(personally) don't want to lose this capability.

I am also an RPMFusion contributor. One of our goals at RPMFusion is
to merge as many repositories together (hence the name "fusion") to
minimize the inter-repository incompatibilities. I would be glad to
assist you if you decide to move those patent/license encumbered
packages to RPMFusion in the future.

As for the wishlist, could you add them to the Wishlist in the wiki
page (I gave the link above) if you have access? I don't know about
all the packages at PlanetCCRMA (there are a lot :) ) and having a
wishlist with brief summaries for each entry will hopefully catch more
attention from our SIG members. If you don't have wiki access, you can
send your list to me and I will add them to the wiki.

Cheers,
Orcan

Have added a couple of packages I'm interested in - would be willing to
package them but I need to finish a couple of other packages first.
