Yeah, and Yeah, I was contacted by the organizer of the event and he asked if he would like to join and I asked on my community chat and Everybody said, yeah, we want to do this So The thing is We have 12 days to apply actually I have already applied so the community has agreed that they want to take part in this and we as a Community will produce a 10 to 15 minute EP there is a set of rules and I've linked to that. I think I may actually pin these comments Yeah, I think I'm actually ping these comments I've pinned that and I also pin. Oh My goodness, there's a lot of motion going on. I Think the message Okay. Yeah, here's the message that I I've created. Oh, it's pinned. Okay. Someone pinned it for me. Okay. That's great So if you go to the general channel on my server and go to pinned messages, you will find The message about the challenge or the charity event and above that I also linked the rules That rules of the challenge and a code of conduct that we need to abide By there's also a discord server For the challenge itself and I believe I've shared a link somewhere as well. Oh Yeah, there it is. Okay, let's pin that as well. Okay. Now we have everything Now the thing is this is a This is a charity event All proceedings from the released albums are going to go towards charity organizations that help Unprivileged person people around the world by giving them access to music tools to help them Make music and by that help them overcome difficulties in their life The Concrete Charity has not been selected yet but it's one of two and There is also a other event Which is called samples for solidarity Which is organized by the people behind server versus server And that one is to support the Ukraine crisis But this event right here is to support various various and privileged people And give them access to music making Which I think is very much in line with my mission as an educator because I'm doing videos teaching people about free and open source software So that unprivileged people Who don't have funds to obtain software or hard work to make music or have other limitations Who can get the software and be creative and develop as people? And get joy out of being creative Even despite various hardships that may block them from using proprietary software That's of course just one aspect of it Okay, so that's the quick announcement the I think I shared the There are dates that we need to To go by and that these dates are Yep as follows so Let me just read this to you server versus server a charity event to celebrate music communities across discord is Back and running for the fourth time. So this is for physician up to 50 50 discord servers will compete against each other in creating Collaborative 15-minute EPs within one month based on the same theme Slash prompt server signups are now open till Saturday blah blah blah. I've already signed up The official event kickoff date is Saturday 26th of March So we have some time before the theme is given and everybody starts working Until that time. I think it will be good to Talk about who can do what what roles people want to fill in the production and Okay, that was weird Etc. Yeah, I Volunteer to master the album. I really like mastering albums And I've yeah, I think it at the more people are involved the better There's like a minimum of three people who need to give actual creative input material and no work can be done before the event starts which makes total sense So also like no remixes, etc. I encourage you to read the rules If you want to take part in creating of the EP for this event I think it's going to be a nice opportunity to get together and make something and also to Get to know some other people from the space and in the end to celebrate all the creations and listen to music people will make There's also this cool aspect of interpreting the theme and I think there's a lot of room for Just awesome creativity Yeah So if you are part of the part of my community chat Then you probably already heard about this if not Then maybe You want to Maybe you want to join my community chat right there chat dot on father XYZ and There you will find Link to the discord site as well I've discussed the fact that our community is Spread across two places There is this court and there is rocket chat and they work together as a single community, but they are still kind of separate And the whole thing is not a problem the only issue is that Voting and every member of the community will be able to vote for their favorite music Except for what we've all what we have created by ourselves, of course so To vote you we will need a discord account So that's the only limitation And that's where we may be at a disadvantage But I hope this is not going to Be a problem for us and that we will still be able to make an awesome EP and join with the Wider set of communities focused on music production And I think it's a great opportunity for us to express our uniqueness in the fact that we're focusing on free and open-source software And using Linux for the most part to produce our music So I think it's a good. It's a good way to express that and tell people All right, that's all from me right now. Let's just Do it huh? Okay, I think I just also paste links to the pinned messages on Discord in the description of this video so you can just click there and You will immediately jump to these messages a lot of discussion has kicked off people got excited So it's hard to find these But they are pinned and I'll include the links as well. All right, that's all Now go and make some music in preparation for the challenge
