Of course I agree. However, please note that a very pro-Linux fellow is
assisting baktery with Skale development on Linux. It is still possible
that baktery will decide to make his sources open and freely available.

I didn't submit a paper this year, and unless one of the journals wants
me there as a reporter it's unlikely I'll attend. I'm not nearly so
close to development now as I have been in past years, and since it is a
developers conference I would be happy to see someone more deserving get
a spot. LAC is a fantastic experience, I'll certainly miss it (and all
my friends there), but I think it would be more valuable to someone
actively developing Linux audio software.
