Don't forget the AudioFest this Saturday. Register if you haven't already (so we can buy enough snacks and make sure the table arrangement's OK). FYI, there are currently about 30 people registered. Here's the latest programme: - Welcome/Programme Overview (Bill Simpson-Young) - "Linux audio and how to code it" (Conrad Parker) - "Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)" (Ken Yap) - "Automatic analysis of MP3 files with MPEG Maaate" (Silvia Pfeiffer) - "Moe Radio & The Joys of Streamed Music" (Jason Rennie) - An intro to speech recognition (including the state of this on Linux) (Jordi Robert-Ribes) - An intro to speech synthesis (including the differences between fun stuff and stuff that is really useful for blind people) (Yvonne Smith) - Software demonstrations (Conrad Parker and others) - General Discussion (incl installation/configuration queries) Here are the details or you can look at the same info on the web at http://www.slug.org.au/ See you there, Bill --- Date: Saturday, February 12th, 2000 Time: 10am - 4pm (BYO lunch) (NB: This isn't like an InstallFest where you just pop-in - people will generally stay for the duration, also if you're bringing a computer, come at 9 - 9.30 am to set up) Location: Building E6A, Room 133 (same as the VideoFest), Macquarie University, North Ryde, Sydney Cost: $5 (SLUG members), $15 (non-members), free (speakers) (note: it's not too late to be a speaker... include info on the rego form if you want to give a talk) (note: profit goes to SLUG) Bring: Lunch, Computers (Tea, coffee, small snacks will be provided) Getting to Building E6A or E6B: See the map of Macquarie Uni at Press Here for the big picture or the map for fine details of parking and building entry. If you've come by car, come in the Herring Road entrance (the one near Macquarie Centre), take the first left and follow directions to CSIRO (the visitor carpark is on the inside of a V made by the two wings of a building). If you've come by bus, just follow directions for the E buildings and you'll find it (on thebig-picture map, you can just see the bus stops for to-city buses as the numbers 1-6 down the central road and those for from-city buses as a similar sort of thing a bit further down). Parking: Parking at Macquarie Uni is $4 (payable in machines around the place) - - parking people - - do check on the weekend and it's a $60 fine. There are about 12 CSIRO visitor carparks (which are free) next to building E6B for the first ones who get there. If you want to use one of these, you'll have to come inside and get a signed piece of paper to put in your windscreen (or risk a parking fine). =========================================================== Registration Form ================================================================== Please email back the following information to Bill Simpson-Young <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> YES - I will be attending the Linux AudioFest!
