That last part has been on my mind ever since I saw the CM article, wanting a much more in-depth examination. A letter to them from the "Ubuntu Studio team" introducing the team, who y'all are, etc., might be a shrewd move, to establish a contact point/person at both CM & US. -- Cheers, SDM -- a 21st Century Schizoid Man Systems Theory internet music project: <www.systemstheory.net> on MySpace: <www.myspace.com/systemstheory> on Last FM: <www.last.fm/music/Systems+Theory> get "Codetalkers" *free* at <www.mikedickson.org.uk/codetalkers> NP: nothing -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users
