Hello Marek,

I'm not sure where you're quoting from - I can't see that phrase in
the announcement press release for the consortium or the About page
of the website.

You can focus on developers if you like, but as a humble user I'd like
to be involved too.

Okay, Germany plus one mini-conference in Australia. That leaves about
190 other countries.

People who need to use this kind of software on a daily basis but have
low awareness of Linux and/or libre software. By contrast, if you
have an audio stand at a general Linux event you will find high
awareness of libre software but only a small minority of specialist
audio users. (Those Linux events are still worth doing, in my
opinion, but they don't reach many new people).

Not witholding at all - that was your idea.

That's not another private list, it's the original list. There are no
other private lists. And just for you, I've changed the archives from
private to public:
http://lists.linuxaudio.org/pipermail/consortium-p/
I'll warn you though, it might not be very interesting reading.
Cheers
Daniel
