Sadly won't be able to take part as my 12pm flight has been delayed due to fog and I'm rebooked for the 19h one... so I'll be heading to the airport when the meeting happens
Joining from the airport! FaceMUTED! I can't even get your videos to show, just listening to you all
Last week in Berlin: Ada conference (Tue/Wed) = a complete waste of time and money, Loop (Fri through Sun) = very interesting and exhausting
Was in a panel about open source and audio, with mostly Linux audio developers (e.g. Ardour). I explained a bit how Web Audio worked, what you can and cannot do (yet), people came to me afterwards and said they were happy about my optimistic approach and all the ideas I gave them. There was also talk about how to get people involved in open source if they were not developers. The inevitable answer of "write docs" came up but I also suggested that also things like translating, writing tutorials, recording screencasts can be really great for raising awareness about a piece of software you like. There was also a bunch of cool things I saw and heard so my brain is very hyperactive now. Also, people seem very excited about things that happen in the web because of the ease of distribution, and also "Web MIDI" is exciting to them.
