FOSS4G'13

The working site for the conference committee of FOSS4G 2013

Music - revised

Posted by Addy Pope on September 10, 2013

Ok, i have put together another play list.  Assuming that the venue has the licence so we can just play tunes of Spotify, here is a list of songs that are either "free", "open" or "map" related. Some belters, some cookie and some left field but that's what you get when you crowd-source and office..... hope the link works (requires a spotify account).  Happy for my account to be accessed on the night.

Nice, but what's "Young Turks" by Rod Stewart got to do with it? And Uprising by Muse?

Track 22 - do you know what "Map of Tasmania" is slang for? Might not be okay with our code of conduct :)

Searching for 'Cartography' on spotify brings up a load of tracks....

What about Robin Hood music? There's some nice soundtrack from Prince Of Thieves on Spotify. Or the classic "Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen" tv theme...

Addy Pope on September 10, 2013:

Hi Barry, yup there are some left field choices in there and it is subject to approval/editing.

Map of Tasmania - yes i do know, but put it in to see what you lot thought. Personally think it would be best left out.

Young Turks - "hearts beat "free" tonight"

Uprising - all about going against the mainstream, lyrics about cutting red tape and so on..... may me too left field.

Cartography - look at it now. Adding in some.

Robin Hood theme - great idea, will add some but everyone has a Brian Adams threshold ;) Thankfully we are not in Cork or we would have the titanic soundtrack....

if you have any other tracks that should be added let me know and i will lob them in.

Abi Page on September 10, 2013:

Thanks guys, can you also think about where they will fit in prog & maybe sub classify - eg general background, before opening/closing plrnary etc.

How about the "Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen" music... ;-)  It's not Bryan Adams at least.

I know my taste in music exposes my veteran status and past misdemeanours but Addy gets a big big thumbs up from me.

Of course I could say "yuck to this and what about that" I am grateful that we have a playlist, happy to let others improve and then work out what to use where
