Re: If I were to DJ, would you come dance and help me have fun with the accessible free-software DJ tool I spent this year writing?



Hey,

So, I know that at past Debconfs people have sometimes gotten together
for some impromptu dancing to music.

I got interested in mixing music as part of putting together my
wedding.  Because I'm blind, most of the existing DJ software wasn't
something I could approach.  (Yes, digital vinyl systems would have been
an option, but not my style).
So, I wrote my own.
https://hartmans.livejournal.com/98220.html discusses the initial quest
and

discusses where I got for the wedding.

The software is at https://salsa.debian.org/hartmans/djcli but it's not
yet mature enough that it's likely to be useful to anyone else.  (And
I'll admit it's a niche thing anyway)

I've kept working on it and learning a lot more about music and mixing.
I don't get much of a chance to perform live though, and that's lots of
fun.  I was considering submitting an informal event to see if we could

Please do. That'd be a lovely idea, IMHO! :D

get some folks together at debconf to have fun and dance.

I guess at one level I could always submit the event and the organizers
could decide whether to approve it or not, but it is work to put
something like that together.  So before I submit something I want to
see if people would be interested and make sure I wouldn't be stepping
on anyone else's toes.

I am sure people will love it! At least, I will (and already do!).
I am fairly looking forward to the event, irrespective of my presence :D

Please don't stop doing what you do, it is beautiful :)
Best of luck! :D


Best,
Utkarsh
