In response to Googles summer of code, I would like to suggest a "userspace" alternative for us non-coders I would like (with the help of the D&CGLUG) to launch a digital arts "festival" based in Torbay using FLOSS software. The aims of the project are :- 1. To expose people outside the usual circle (D&CGLUG) to FLOSS software. 2. To encourage growth in the creation of art forms through technology : art, music, sound, literture, (mathmatics ?) 3. To create a lasting document (in the form of a bootable CD / DVD) for free distribution containing both software and the content created on / for the day using that software. 4. To ensure that everybody has some fun ! We have a good venue: The Old Monastery . We have a focus : "The Arts" We have the technology : GNU/Linux Activities I had in mind where :- Podcast productions - poems, plays using Audacity / Others Art - GIMP, Tux Paint, Blender (for the brave), Web page production ...... Literature - Factual or Fiction - In OOWriter, gedit or vi, nano or anything else Can we get sponsorship ? (Palm FM / Gemni FM ?) Are you interested in helping ? Please suggest other ideas, the forum is open ......
