Free as in beer is good. Not having to use windows is good. Mostly I just like the tools - varied, sometimes wacky and generally really versatile and easy to hack. > I've never seen such inapt community btw, which is totally ignorant in > organizing itself.

I /like/ the current (lack of) linux audio community. Its not like we're one homogenous organisation. Were just a bunch of people who hack linux audio systems. Its great :) The only real connection we have is that were all doing audio hacking under linux - some are using GTK and C, some Qt and C++, some python... I think the linux audio world is too small and varied to have a tightly knit organisation like the Gnome guys. - Steve
