I saw Jesse Keating speak about the new Fedora at the Northwest
LinuxFest and I thought about the future of planetccrma. Fedora 7 will
merge core and extras, use 'koji' as a build system and develop a
series of distributions. With koji planetccrma could be a distribution
branch of Fedora, but according to Jesse koji is not ready to do that
with the real time kernel yet.
I see that planetccrma is the result of Fernando's effort to maintain
the electronics music lab at Stanford, and many of us are grateful for
his effort. But this is a big effort for one person, I do not see a
large community of people contributing to the planetccrma effort. And
I do see large communities around SUSE JackLab, Ubuntu Studio and
Pure:Dyne.
So what is the future of planetccrma? Will the Stanford Lab adopt SUSE
JackLab or Ubuntu Studio? Will a community support Fernando to make a
planetccrma distribution with koji and Fedora 7? Or what? I support
the Linux community and the use Linux to create and study music, and I
what to know where to direct my efforts.
Thanks,
