Event: Manchester Free Software Talk: Dan Lynch, Audio Production with Free Software
This month’s talk will be given by the prolific podcaster and musician, Dan Lynch. Dan will be giving a talk entitled “Professional Audio Production With Free Software”. Where he’ll be going through the free software tools he uses to make the Software Freedom Law Show amongst other podcasts. He’ll do a live demo (hopefully) and cut together a quick example podcast. He’ll also talk a bit about audio in general on GNU/Linux and discuss areas where it could be improved in comparison to proprietary software.

Dan is currently involved in the Linux Outlaws, Software Freedom Law Show and Rathole Radio podcasts. A selection of Dan’s music is available at shedmusic.net. The meeting will take place at the usual time, 7pm, at the Lass O’Gowrie pub on Charles Street in Central Manchester. We will be located in the Salmon Room upstairs, although there will be people around a little earlier downstairs(probably sampling the food and drinks on offer). Just ask at the bar if you can’t find us. Their website has full details of how to get there and the fine selection of food and drink available.. The venue also provides wifi. General information about Manchester Free Software meetings can be found on our meetings page. If you would like five minutes to tell us about something, please contact us.

PHPNW is a regional PHP conference held in Manchester, UK.

It brings together the PHP community from the local area along with others from further afield for a busy day with two tracks of technical sessions – and of course plenty of socialising around that. This year the event also includes an extended programme with informal sessions set for the Sunday. For more information see the conference website
