We love to introduce our community to new people and share how they are using open source tools, ideas, and methods to create things in new ways. Adam Drew, resident Red Hat rock star, is doing just that. Adam is making music with the power of open source. Many people in music production are unaware that free and open source software options exist for them. Instead, they opt for non-free solutions by default, because they don't know, don't care, or they just  don't believe that there is an entire world of free and open source  software available. And the open source software for music production is often as good as—or better—than the non-free alternatives. Join our Open Your World webcast on April 20 to hear Adam Drew talk  about how he went from being an Apple Logic Studio user to producing his  music completely on open source software. Then learn about the  challenges, learning curve, and details of how you too can make the switch.
