Hi,
just wondering how about holding a sound-BoF in LinuxCon Europe in October?
I know ELCE will be held at the very same time, so it may need the adjustment of schedule. But in general what do you think?
I know some guys will attend LPC in September, too. If the topic is redundant again after one month, it's fine, no much need for that. OTOH, it's a conference in Europe, so people there may have more chance to attend (like me :-)
An alternative is a workshop in KS2011 day 1, but I think KS suits better for more broader topics, e.g. the discussions on the media- notification support or the jack implementation like a thread in the last month.
I like the initiative and I'm all for having a sound BoF!
Unfortunately, the timing is bad. Ubuntu's biggest event, the Ubuntu Developer Summit, is in Florida 24-28 October and my attendance is required...
Actually the UDS has suddenly moved to 31 October - 4 November instead, so it will likely be possible for me to attend LinuxCon should you have a sound BoF there. As it's time to start book tickets it would be good to know whether that'll be the case or not.
As a side note, I just saw an announcement that there will probably be a PulseAudio session at the desktop summit. [1] If that means a lot of audio people are going there, perhaps that could be an alternative location for the sound BoF as well? Takashi and others, will you be at the desktop summit?
