This should act as a guide for creating samples. For example, If a theme is titled 'Air', those creating event sounds for it will be better inspired on what tones to use and possibly create new tones where a suitable one doesn't exist. The naming will also serve as a guide to grouping existing samples into related themes. Hence, some samples in a theme called 'Nature' may be used in some events in the theme called 'Air'.

Revision as of 10:03, 12 April 2011
Goal: Create free sound themes for fedora, using only FOSS software available from the Fedora repositories.
The Need for Sound:
When we hear our door bell ring, we instantly decide on steps to take to answer it. Some may make a quick fix of their disorganized spaces to impress the guest, while that may serve as a wake-up alert for others distracted by a snooze. Some may opt to ignore it altogether. The fact is, sound helps us make decisions.
The Status:
In xxx, nnn worked extensively to integrate this concept into Linux computing.
The Way Forward:
- Hold meetings at #fedora-sound IRC channel at irc.freenode.net to discuss issues concerning sound theme development.
Presently, a date and time for the first meeting is not decided. You can help schedule this meeting by telling us when you can attend. Visit http://whenisgood.net/kh8a35c and fill out your free periods - Nominate, and choose Sound theme Names.
This should act as a guide for creating samples. For example, If a theme is titled 'Air', those creating event sounds for it will be better inspired on what tones to use and possibly create new tones where a suitable one doesn't exist. The naming will also serve as a guide to grouping existing samples into related themes. Hence, some samples in a theme called 'Nature' may be used in some events in the theme called 'Air'. After all, air is part of nature. This is going to be fun. - Collaborate with Musicians and the guys at #fedora-audio (see also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Audio_Creation).
