Campus Party Brazil - Maddog's Challenge - Multimedia and Free Software

"I decided to do some research to make sure that there was enough Free Software out there to make this a feasible topic for the challenge. Of course I knew about Blender and Audacity and some other Free Software offerings, but I felt there needed to be a bit more. I was pleasantly surprised. Below is a series of Free Software projects and compilations that I found by searching a little around the web. It is by no means extensive, but I did try to capture both audio/video and audio-only tools. I also took the "borrow when you can" philosophy, so while a lot of these descriptions are cut from the projects own web pages, but I tried to find the most descriptive parts I could."
