Ardour Workshop + FLOSS Manuals Book Sprint Hosted by: moddr_lab/WORM, FLOSS Manuals and Derek Holzer Monday 23 November to Friday 27 November, 2009
Introduction to FLOSS Manuals by Adam Hyde 21.00, Friday 20 Nov at WORM, Achterhaven 148, Rotterdam
Ardour is a full-featured, free and open-source hard disk recorder and digital audio workstation software suitable for professional use. New and experienced users of Ardour are invited to “learn by documenting” during this combination workshop and book sprint. A book sprint brings together a group of writers, editors and artists to go from an outline to a published book in just five days. We will use this format to give workshop participants tasks which they will learn to complete in Ardour, and which they will then document for the Ardour FLOSS Manual. This is an exciting opportunity both to acquire new skills The workshop will be split into two sessions: an evening session focusing on learning the software and creating chapters for the FLOSS Manual, and an afternoon session focusing on editing, proofreading and correcting the workshop texts. At the end of the week, we hope to have a beginner’s manual covering these and other topics: Introduction: What is Ardour? Installing Jack & Qjackctl: Linux Getting Started: the user interface Audio Tutorial: editing and arranging existing audio Participants who would like to join us in Rotterdam should sign up via: Interested remote participants should create a login on the Ardour FLOSS Manual page: http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/Ardour/ and communicate with us via the FLOSS Manuals chat interface on the website or at: irc.freenode.net #flossmanuals Further info/references: Ardour: http://ardour.org/ |
