I have two ideas, but I am not certain that they will fit the program:
a) "Using Linux and OpenSource software for Digital Audio Signal Processing Development"
(Related to a toots that I am trying to write since a few months. Maybe I can get that done by then - it certainly would be an incentive to finnish. Scope inlucdes Octave and various frameworks [ladspa, portaudio, simple GUI] that can be applied to audio signal processing development and related research)
b) Open questions and FAQ
This could be a session where key contributors are available to answer, present and discuss general issues. I am thinking of a single session with about 4-5 experts on certain areas [ALSA, MIDI/Sequencing, PCM recording (ardour ...), sound synthesis (pd, synths) ]. The audience can then ask specific questions ("How do I this or that?") without needing to know who can answer. And it can be demonstrated right during the session. We can even broadcast the session over the web (provided ZKM has high-speed internet access) and accept questions through an IRC or something. I am willing to help with the required preperation.

This summer some of us met at the LAD booth at Linuxtag in Karlsruhe,--
Germany. Since the participants of this meeting enjoyed it very much, we
discussed about meeting again in spring 2003.
Frank Neumann and I had the idea of asking the
"Zentrum fuer Kunst und Medientechnologie", Karlsruhe/Germany
(Center for Art and Media, http://www.zkm.de)
whether they would be interested in hosting such a meeting. The answer was
positive and so we can invite to a LAD meeting at the
Institut fuer Musik und Akustik (Institute for Music and Acoustics) at ZKM.
The meeting will take place from Friday, 14. March 2003
to Sunday, 16. March 2003.
We intend to have public sessions where we can present Linux audio
applications and give talks and non-public sessions where we can discuss
future audio development.
For further planning the meeting we need a registration for talks/presentations
at the public sessions, including an abstract and, if necessary,
images/screenshots. To estimate the required room, we also need a registration
for the non-public sessions.
Please register talks/presentations until 8. January 2003 (please earlier,
if possible), so that they can be announced in the printed programme of ZKM.
Please register for the non-public sessions until 3. March 2003.
Registrations can be sent to either Frank Neumann or me. Please use the
keywords "ZKM registration" in the subject. We will post the list of
talks/presentations and further information on the meeting from time
to time, so that you can decide about joining this meeting.
