GSOC intoduction of my proposal

[Jørn Loamx]

Good morning/evening all

I would just like to introduce myself. My name is Jørn Lomax, I'm 23 and a
second year CS student. I have applied to help with the Fedora audio spin
for GSOC. I have a degree in music and I regularly use different studio
software to play around with music. I would easily say music is
my biggest hobby, with programming coming a very close second.  I have made
my application over at the offical application site and added myself to
this mailing list

As I'm applying *very* late, I haven't really had time to get to know
anyone involved with the projects. From what i have seen in the mailing
list archives, there has not been much talk of this idea. I would really
like to help with this project as I feel that there should be a studio
distro/spin that is FOSS and doesn't rely on any libraries that are
not compatible with the fedora philosophy. I also feel like I have some
ideas that would help it be a spin that is a cut above the other studio
centric distros out there.

I hope you will consider this proposal, despite it coming in at the
last minute and that I look forward to be able to work with you all :)

regards,
Jørn Lomax

Welcome Jørn!

I'm a mentor of the Audio spin. This GSoC project idea also came a 
little late to the party but it's an obvious hole that needs filling. 
I'm sure the discussions will soon start heating up once we try and nail 
things down.

I've only just posted my mentor blog myself, but you'll find some useful 
links there I hope http://brendanonet.com/gsoc/

I'm making a point of lurking around #fedora-audio, at least close to 
deadlines like these, if you have any questions.

Look forward to reviewing your application.
