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.
