Advocacy Mini-Howto. The CPAH is intended as an introductory guide for those
looking to convince companies to port their software to Linux.

This article on Linux security provides some good publicity for
Project Independence:
"Two flavors of Linux stand out in the fight to maintain the most secure
platform possible. Both the RedHat and the Independence distributions of
Linux have made significant proactive efforts to improve their out-of-box
security."

http://www.byte.com/column/BYT20000121S0004
This overview column from Byte discusses bringing Linux to the end-user.
"No, Linux doesn't seem ready for consumer prime-time -- yet. We need a                                      better-packaged, stripped-down ready-to-roll distribution (Hopefully,                                        efforts like the SEUL, the Simple End-User Linux initiative, will help us
get there)."

Version v1.6.12r10 of ecasound is out.
Ecasound is a software package designed for multitrack audio processing. It

The initial release of ecawave (0.1.0r1) is out.
Ecawave is a simple graphical audio file editor. The user-interface is based
on Qt libraries, while almost all audio functionality is taken directly from
ecasound libraries. As ecawave is designed for editing large audio files,
all processing is done direct-to-disk. Simple waveform caching is used to
speed-up file operations. Ecawave supports all audio file formats and effect
algorithms provided by ecasound libraries. This includes ALSA and OSS
soundcard support and common file formats like wav, cdr, raw, aiff, mp3, etc.
