Open Source Travel Guide [wiki]: Bibliography

 

As with the Electroacoustic Bibliography published in eContact! 8.4 — Ressources éducatives / Educational Resources, this annotated bibliography is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all articles, books, blog entries, etc. on the subject of Open Source for Audio Application, but rather as an “essential reading list” for the topic, or as a portal opening up to the larger realm of references for Open Source. The focus of this bibliography is on the use of OS for audio, but related references are also included.
