Re: [LAD] LAM
Archive.org is a great suggestion! Despite google's largesse at the moment, archive.org preserves digital archives. Google may do what Google may do. That said, why not both? A mirrored approach would reach more folks and provide more assurances that if some archive or the other dries up, the collection doesn't go *poof* along with it. A self-hosted central website to upload and organize, which uploads a mirror of all contributed to both youtube and archive.org. (And maybe soundcloud if they have an API.) I'd be happy to work on the tool that does the mirror uploading.

I've been happy with Archive.org for hosting the Open Source Musician Podcast. We could create a collection there. _Spencer On Mon, Nov 19, 2018 at 4:25 PM Will J Godfrey wrote: > On Mon, 19 Nov 2018 09:52:31 +0100 > Louigi Verona wrote: > > >Completely agree with Daniel here.

Install an Ad Blocker, Will. YouTube is definitely more reliable than some website that will at any time go offline for months, and Linux Audio music might actually get some exposure.

Completely agree with Daniel here. And Soundcloud or even a YouTube channel (or both) are far more accessible to listeners as well.

I think it would be easier and more manageable to just have a group on soundcloud (or similar) where we collect music made in Linux. This would remove the obstacle keeping the LAM site down (lack of time to keep up with updates/security fixes)...
