ANNOUNCEMENT
AGNULA: A GNU/Linux Audio distribution
(IST-2001-34879)
The AGNULA (A GNU/Linux Audio distribution, acronym pronounced with a strong g) project, supported by the European Commission under the Key Action IV.3.3 (Free Software towards the Critical Mass) has started on April 1st and will last for 24 months up to March 2004. The project is coordinated by the Centro Tempo Reale in Firenze (http://www.centrotemporeale.it) and has the following partners:
* IRCAM (Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique), Paris (http://www.ircam.fr)
* Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Music Technology Group, Barcelona (http://www.iua.upf.es/mtg)
* Kung Tekniska Högskolan (KTH), Music Acoustics Group, Stockholm (http://www.speech.kth.se/music/)
* Free Software Foundation Europe (http://fsfeurope.org)
* Red Hat France (http://www.redhat.fr)
AGNULA's main goal will be the development of two reference distributions for the GNU/Linux operating system completely based on Free Software (i.e. under a FSF approved Free Software license) and dedicated to audio and multimedia. One distribution will be Debian-based (DeMuDi) and the other will be Red Hat-based (ReHMuDi). Both will be available on the network for download and on CD. In the second year the project will also extend to hardware platforms other than PCs (e.g. PowerPCs, 64-bit architectures).
A new website (http://www.agnula.org) is available with further information on the project. Other announcements will be posted on relevant mailing lists.
