Over the weekend I attended Project BBQ (www.projectbarbq.com
<www.projectbarbq.com> ), a yearly audio industry brainstorming session
hosted by George Sanger aka "The Fat Man." Last year's "Pumbers" group at
BBQ planted the initial seeds for GMPI. (FYI, BBQ has a long record of
accomplishments in getting vital industry discussions off the ground. Check
out the _long_ list at the end of http://www.projectbarbq.com/bbq0001.htm
<http://www.projectbarbq.com/bbq0001.htm> for details.)
Based on what BBQ attendees were saying, there is no doubt that "the
industry" has tremendous hope for the ultimate success of GMPI. Vendors are
fed up with the lack of a standard "cable" for plugins of the kind that
exists for MIDI. Vendors are seeing their ability to innovate being stifled
because of having to spend their time porting to N different plugin formats
instead of just one.
I feel like I'm on the "Dream Team", re-energized and ready to play. Just a
little reminder about why we're all here...
Back to work. :-)
