Re: [Rosegarden-devel] rosegarden presentation at FOSDEM

Nice talk Richard, well done.

Pity I missed the announcement as I wasn't subscribed to the 'devel' 
mailing list - I am now :-)

Have been using Rosegarden since at least 2005 and it's been my main 
sequencer and indeed it's notation editing capabilities have always been 
quite outstanding compared to lots of commercial software.
I would say it was one of the OSS, linux-only pieces of software which 
pushed me to switch to Linux for personal computing around 2006-2007.

Rosegarden is cited (together with other FLOSS) in the closing credits 
of the (independent / budget / sci-fi) feature film I made the 
soundtrack for [1][2] in 2016 (released in 2017), because it was 
essentially what I used to compose it. I also use it for all of my 
'digital' music production.

I guess Richard's talk is a nice occasion to re-iterate a big thank you 
to all developers and contributors to Rosegarden over the years, and 
indeed, this is a small but very active and engaged community, an 
element which makes it special :-)
