Hi all,
I would like to propose a new SIG for audio production.
This would primarily cover to setup a digital audio workstation. I started to build some packages for this like plugins, configurations and a realtime kernel (built from git.centos.org http://git.centos.org) for a public repository. During doing all this stuff I thought of founding a SIG.
I think, CentOS will be the right distribution for this, because it is really stable, reliable and long term supported.

I think this is an outstanding idea and I support it.
One thing to keep in mind though is patents that require compensation. I think mp3's (for example) still fall into that category.
We can't approve things in the SIG that will violate IP law in the USA. And please let's not start a discussion on the validity of those laws. I don't know anyone who thinks they are great or wants them to exist .. but they do and we have that limitation.
But, outside of that limitation, I am 100% supportive of an Audio Production SIG.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes
