A number of composers, producers and web developers have put together a petition to ask Beatnik to open source their Web Tools for interactive audio, in particular the Beatnik Player and the Beatnik Xtra.
Beatnik is focusing their development resources on the wireless space and are no longer able to update the Beatnik tools for the web. But Beatnik is an amazing tool for interactive web audio and no one wants to see it languish. So a number of audio producers and web developers have put together a petition to Beatnik to open source the Beatnik Player, the Music-Object and the Beatnik Xtra for Director. This would benefit both Beatnik in the wireless space, and composers/app developers on the web and wireless. In order for this to be successful we will need a community of developers/coders who can work with the Beatnik wrapper code to enhance it, port it to other platform like Linux, and come up with creative new applications. For this reason I am contacting The petition is located at Linux Audio Development List. If you are interested in working with the Beatnik Interactive Audio technology from a coding angle, it would be great if you could add your names and comments to the petition at: http://www.sonify.org/home/petition.html Thanks in advance. With luck interactive audio on the web will continue to thrive and expand across all platforms. We are moving very fast on this and would like to present Beatnik with the petition at the beginning of next week (02/14/02) - so if there is anyway you can assist...! _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
