The linuxguitar project is brain-child of master guitar maker, Mac-head turned linux enthusiast, Mark Kett. The idea is to craft a fully functional electric guitar that contains a motherboard and CPU running linux. Why ? A guitar that can record itself, tune itself and run a vast number of effects on-board, for starters, and an open community project that features unlimited expandability. find out more, and get your suggestions in to linuxguitar.org.

Wonderful guitar maker, delightful Dad and general creative genius, Mark Kett, has given the caffe (well.. me.. actually) an incredibly awesome gift; the linuxcaffe Kettar. (a Kettar is a musical instrument shaped a lot like a guitar, but with other magical qualities infused by it's maker)

This instrument was many years in the making, and has undergone several physical and karmic conversions. It is made of Brazilian rosewood and Myrtle, and is emblazoned with a fiery fusion of the Ubuntu Canada symbol, a modest "linuxcaffe" mark, and seems to be able to absorb the love, hope and inspiration of all who hold it. (ok.. that's what I tell myself, anyways) It will be kept out in the open, ready for sharing, and I hope you'll visit soon and hear (or make) it's brilliant mellow tones ring out. I know it has magic properties, because the moment I picked it up, I could instantly play 1.618 times better !

The Linux Guitar Project has begun. Come one, come two, and join in the fun! Info ? linuxguitar.org
