L2Ork on the Cover of the Linux Journal

Posted in Announcements

I finally got my hands on the May issue of the Linux Journal (many thanks Dave!) and am truly thrilled by the fact that L2Ork ended up on the front cover of the magazine. More so, Linux Journal editors have honored us with a generous 8-page story, including an interview with yours truly. To top it all off, LJ also has a really entertaining podcast discussing connections between L2Ork speakers and Star Wars. For more info on the article, or to obtain a copy of Linux Journal, click here.

On an unrelated note, L2Ork has finally joined Facebook. You can find us by clicking here or by visiting the Links page.

Welcome to 2010

Posted in Uncategorized

It’s been an amazingly restful break, so much so, the other day when I was filling out some VT paperwork I could not remember my office phone number. I am hoping this is a sign I indeed had a good vacation, rather than the fact that I am getting old…

Over the past weeks we’ve had enjoyed some great news coverage on L2Ork:

a story by Create Digital Music online magazine. We were also greatly honored to be included in “CDM’s Biggest Music Tech Stories of 2009”
radio feature as part of WVTF section of NPR’s “All Things Considered” radio show. The same story also aired this past week on Friday’s “Morning Edition” and “Weekend Virginia.”
and most recently, as part of Dave Phillips’ awesome audio column in the Linux Journal

Since our December debut our site has received over 660,000 hits in December alone and our story has been featured in a number of international news outlets. Consequently, I would like to use this opportunity to extend my deepest gratitude to all who have showed such a tremendous interest in and support for L2Ork. Special thanks go to our PR Manager Jean Elliott as well as L2Ork Stakeholders and Sponsors and obviously all l2orkists without whom none of this would’ve been possible.

As I look forward to another semester full of new L2Ork adventures, I hope you will stay with us as we post additional content and information on this site, including Linux image and other software goodies. In the meantime, I invite you to check out the stories above as well as get a taste of L2Ork by visiting our Media pages.

L2Ork at TEDxMidAtlantic

Posted in Uncategorized

TEDxMidAtlantic took place yesterday in Baltimore, MD. It has been a tremendous honor and a humbling experience to share the stage with Nobel Prize winners, human rights activists, notable public figures, amazing artists, and entrepreneurs. The reason I mention this here is because L2Ork also got its 5 minutes of fame as part of my talk on rediscovering the true potential of human hearing. On-demand video streams of all talks are available on the TEDxMidAtlantic’s website (NB: L2Ork segment also includes first publicly available video footage of L2Ork in action). Additional event info can be found on the TEDxMidAtlantic twitter channel. Special thanks to conference staff for organizing such an amazing event!

Lear Jets, Limosines, and L2Orks

Posted in Uncategorized

Publicity! And we didn’t even ask for it! A recent article published by Con-Techie and Associated Content is the first official media coverage of L2Ork, which came out as a result of a Con-Techie team member apparently randomly stumbling across this site (not that we feel any less flattered). The article, an interview with our very own Maestro of L2Ork Dr. Ico Bukvic, gives an overview of what L2Ork is, some of the reasons for building L2Ork the way we did, and a slight glimpse into the future the ensemble. Here are the links to the Con-Techie and Associated Content articles. Enjoy!
