Re: [Nolug] Re: Music and Technology

I spoke with my partner and it sounds like we'll be able to make it tonight, so we should be there.

Chris,

Online music collaboration sounds like an interesting problem. If you want
real-time collaboration, I bet latency is a deal-breaker. But a version
control kind of system for working in iterations seems like it would be
quite do-able. I bet either Tae Hong or one of his grad students would know
of something if it exists. If you come tonight, be sure to ask them. And
if you can't make it, I can try to get you in touch with them. I met his
two grad students at the Feb. 2600 meeting. I'm blanking on their names at
the moment...
