LAD Meeting @ ZKM Karlsruhe 2004

The second Linux Audio Conference at ZKM Karlsruhe/Germany has been a huge success and great fun for everybody, although 4 days is a little hard on your brain...

We streamed the presentations over the web in real time, and you will be able to download the recordings in ogg vorbis format after we have finished editing them. We also have loads of webcam stills lying around, and we might do something with it at some point.

The program is available here.

You can browse miscallaneous, photos, recordings and slides

You can find the Conference Proceedings on the ZKM site
