Stagecraft

I always have been interested in lighting, and am working as a freelance software engineer for clients in the lighting business, but most of the projects I work on are out of the range for amateur and low budget venues.

To follow the Free Software Idea, I am working on several smaller lighting-related projects that I made available here (see the side menu). One of them, the Art-Net Wireshark plugin, is already available; others are still works in progress.

Good places to find out more about stagecraft are for example websites of organizations like:

http://www.plasa.org/

http://www.esta.org/

Also mailing lists and newsgroups are a good source of information.
