Not sure whether this fits in here, but I thought it might be interesting. I forwarded the message to someone I know at Access Music (makers of such synths as the Indigo :), who will be joining the meeting before he visits NAMM. He started out hacking on Linux some years ago, now uses Mac OS X too. He has a *huge* knowledge in audio programming and somewhat of a distaste for proprietary lock-ins (M$ anyone ?). He started ampfea, a meeting place for electronic artists, which could be of interest to you (http://www.ampfea.org). Anyway, just to say that there are going to be people who are very like minded there too. I think its a great opportunity for anyone who can go to get their voice heard. Valid technical points always get over, when other technical people are listening. Political speeches will be banned, as it should be :) I think the main topic is audio, a central plugin API and not politics or marketing. have fun, v
