Please shine the light as bright as you can. The color of Microsoft's self
illumination is getting tiresome. Any new lights are most welcome,
especially in the area of Linux. Keep up the good work.
And, oh yah, I am not one of the ~70 but I do listen and read the
conversations to try and keep a tempo (no pun) on the group.

Subject: [linux-audio-dev] [OT?] Fun with numbers
Greetings:
I thought about posting a response to the linuxaudio.org controversy but
I've opted for posting some numbers instead.
It was pointed out that LAD can claim more than 700 members now.
Very cool, I love it. I'm not sure exactly what those numbers mean, but I do
know that only about 1/10 of that figure actually post regularly to the
list. So out of the 700 only ~70 are consistent contributors. Again, I don't
know what the numbers signify. I guess it's [your meaning here].
On January 7 Linux Journal On-line posted my second monthly column (this
one about Planet CCRMA and AGNULA). I checked for the number of reads this
morning: +10000. That's right, more than ten thousand in little over one
week. I point this out not to shine my own light, but to indicate again that
far more people are interested in Linux audio development than the mail
lists' membership numbers suggest.
(Actually I have a lot of thoughts on all this stuff, but I'm really
just too busy here for further comment.)
Back to the hack...
Best regards,
Dave Phillips
