Recently I read a blogpost about Ubuntu copies that were distributed at an Anime convention. (http://blog.thesilentnumber.me/2009/11/can-ubuntu-reach-over-16000-anime.html) Kẏra, who wrote the blogpost, now works for the FSF and fights against DRM. I plan to distribute copies of Trisquel at one or more Anime conventions.

These copies will include Blender, Synfig, Darktable (a free replacement for Photoshop Lightroom) and some free music tools including lauloid that am currently working on.

Lauloid is a free replacement for the nonfree VOCALOID and UTAU softwares. It is based on the "open source [sic] C library that implements SMS techniques for analysis, transformation and synthesis of musical sounds based on a sinusoidal plus residual model." The Music Technology Group released the library that contains the core of VOCALOID signal processing under the GPL.

I know that there are Anime Fans who dislike DRM, so it could be worth trying to convince them to use Free Software. This includes to teach them to use my free replacement for the popular nonfree software VOCALOID.
