Count me in - I was bummed that I missed the first one, and would
have attended if it weren't for prior commitments. This much warning
next time around will assure I make it, and I already look forward to
it. I'd like to participate in any way I can.

Excellent! This will be very nice to see (and hear)!

I can talk on the advances of Linux Audio, if that's desired. I've
been a Linux user since the day Linus sent his mail to the minix
list, I've been actively participating in and watching the Linux
audio scene since then, and as an audio developer in a professional
capacity for the last year, here at Access, I've had an opportunity
to contrast the Linux efforts with other commercial efforts. Linux
Audio has come a long way.

We don't have any Linux fronts to present, but most certainly I can
produce a running summary of the situation from a commecial
perspective, and if its of any interest I will happily do a "Linux
Audio 101, Guided Tour" style development presentation for those who
are interested in a leg-up workshop.

Since this is a German-run effort, and Access are a pro-German Audio
industry style company, I will run it by my higher ups and see if I
can't at least get some form of sponsorship happening.
