Hi I was in a Hackerspace in Stuttgart on the weekend. They sounded quite excited about a DJ contest in Mixxx. I'll definitely write them a note when the contest starts. I'll also guess they will find it an interesting challenge to use mostly free music. Since there are a ton of hackerspaces around the world you can also do this in your home country.
