Wikipedia en problemas?

Leyendo Slashdot me he enterado de que Wikipedia parece estar en problemas financieros. Este enlace conduce al articulo en cuestión. Lo concreto es que Wikipedia anunció que no habían recaudado suficiente dinero para sus actividades de los próximos meses. La situación podría corregirse si es que Wikipedia alojara publicidad en sitio web, pero Wikipedia prometió en el pasado a sus colaboradores que nunca habría publicidad en sus páginas. La noticia ha motivado un interesante debate entre los lectores de slashdot.org. En esta discusión hay argumentos que señalan que Wikipedia podría tener serios problemas administrativos.

This blog goes bilingual!

Since today this blog will feature both articles in Spanish and English. The idea is to spread information useful to Spanish speaking composers while offering information about Circomper and its members and activities to the English speaking world.

Desde hot este blog publicará tanto artículos en español como en inglés. La idea es difundir información útil para los composiotores hispano hablantes y ofrecer información sobre Circomper, sus miembros y sus actividades al mundo anglo parlante.

Sobre Música Espectral

Carlos Andrés Leguía solicitó información sobre el espectralismo hace unas semanas en nuestra lista de interés. Jaime Oliver y Juan Gonzalo Arroyo nos ofrecieron esta información:

Amigos:

Aprovecho la oportunidad para saludarlos y desearles exitos. Aqui les envio la direccion de una pagina donde pueden adquirir informacion sobre Gérard Grisey. Lamentablemente esta en frances y no tengo mucho tiempo como para hacer una traduccion del texto, pero puedo decirles que vale la pena
que la lean pues esta contiene un analisis de "Partiels" (1975) hecha por Thierry Alla quien es un especialista en la materia.

Espero que les sirva de mucho y desde aqui les envio un abrazo.

Finale en Linux!

En este enlace pueden leer un excelente artículo que enseña a instalar el programa de notación musical Finale en Linux. Si estás interesado en instalar Linux en tu computadora te recomiendo que uses la distribución llamada Ubuntu. Y a propósito de Linux, aquí hay un spot publicitario hecho por IBM que es ciertamente emocionante.
