That doesn't mean we should go down that path. Let's learn from that.
What's the best term that accurately identifies both linux audio
developers and linux audio users? I think it's 'linux audio'.

We should first attract linux audio developers and users. Industries
come next. They won't be interested if there's a total of 10 la users

Agreed. But there are ways of further improving it. I think that it
should be a part of a larger linux audio infrastructure. LAD, LAU,
djcj.org definitely belong to that infrastructure aswell.
