I have arranged a stall for MFS at Chorlton's Big Green Festival 2012.
Horrah! This will be our third year in a row of having a stall at the
yay! Well done Mike! There will be two Free software stalls at the festival this year (as you know I have also arranged one as part of my "festival bridge" twinning project with the Green Light in Leicester) so there will be a really strong presence and message about the importance and benefits, both social and environmentally, of free software. I am really feel like we have worked as a solid team on this, and that we should all feel proud that the free software community in Manchester is united, and puts the cause of free software first and foremost. Big thumbs up!

event.
We will be promoting the Free Software philosophy, MFS, LibrePlanet and
the FSF. If you want help out with this then let us know. If you can't
help out the whole day then helping out part of the day is still very
welcome. The event is fun and it's great to chat to people so receptive
to Free Software.

system
Message-ID: <address@hidden>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
The March Manchester FSFE Fellowship meeting will take place on Thursday
29th at 19.00 in MadLab.
Bob Ham, GNU/Linux audio developer and coordinator of Liverpool Linux User
Group, will introduce and explain the JACK Audio Connection Kit - a
professional Free Software sound server for audio recording, mixing, editing,
and more.
JACK is at the cutting edge of professional media software, and powers the
most powerful Free Software applications in the field, including:
- Ardour: http://ardour.org/
- Hydrogen: http://www.hydrogen-music.org
- Blender: http://www.blender.org/
- VLC: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
- PureData: http://puredata.info/
JACK does things that the most expensive proprietary software cannot, as was
originally funded and still developed by British programmer Paul Davis.
Bob's description:
> A short history and discussion of the JACK Audio Connection Kit, its
> operating principles, design and implementation
>
> * A short history of JACK
> * Some sound card basics
> * The JACK system
> * Demonstration
>
> The talk is a bit technical and contains phrases like "sound card buffer" and
> "callback".
There will also be discussion about recent news from the politics of Free
Software, and a report from Document Freedom Day, which takes place the day
before. Please bring your own topics for discussion with you, and present them
to the group.
