Libre Music Production is a new online resource focused on promoting musical creation and composition using free and open source (FLOSS) software. "By providing hands-on material submitted by the community, such as guides, tutorials, articles and news updates, we want to show not only that there is great FLOSS audio software out there, but also how to practically use that software to make music."
Articles of interest
Cluetrain at Fifteen (Linux Journal)
Doc Searls looks back over the fifteen years that have passed since he (along with Chris Locke, David Weinberger and Rick Levine) wrote "The Cluetrain Manifesto". "What we had in mind was much fresher to me in the Summer of 2000, when I worked with Jason Schumaker, another Linux Journal editor, on an interview about Cluetrain and its relevance to Linux. What we ended up with was too long for both the magazine and our website at the time, so the project got sidelined and eventually buried in archival directories, where it stayed until this morning, when I found it during a search for something else. Reading it, I realized that I had come across a kind of time capsule."
