Puredyne 9.10 - Carrot and Coriander
------------------------------------
Puredyne is a GNU/Linux live distribution aimed at creative people,
looking for tools outside the standard. It provides the best
experimental creative applications alongside a solid set of graphic,
audio and video tools in a fast, minimal package. For everything from
sound art to innovative filmmaking.
Puredyne is optimised for use in realtime audio and video processing. It
distinguishes itself by offering a low latency kernel and the high
responsiveness needed by artists working in this field.
Puredyne is based on Ubuntu and Debian Live. All packages provided by
Puredyne can be used if you are running this flavour of GNU/Linux.

64-bit support!
---------------
(.. and more architectures to come...)
Starting with this release, we are happy to provide support for a new
experimental branch of Puredyne for 64-bit CPUs. We need your feedback
to develop this further, so please get one of these amd64 Puredyne CD or
DVD, and tell us how it works for you!

Yeah, fork me baby!!!
---------------------
Thanks to broth, the mother of all soups, it is now very easy to make
your own Puredyne based recipe. Get the pan, mix in your ingredients
and cook slowly. Using broth, two new Puredyne/broth based distros have
been released:
* Puredyne craftivism: a special liveUSB key specially made for the
craftivism exhibition. You can purchase (at cost) this collector item
at the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol, UK. http://www.craftivism.net
* sidistro: a greek flavoured distribution focussed on privacy and
anonymity. http://sid.gr/doku.php/agenda/distro
Why not make one yourself? (and impress friends and family with
your very own livethingie)

(we have internets)
Do you like adventures? Giant robots, waterfalls and dinosaurs? Then
join the dev team! We are always looking for people to help us make
Puredyne a better distribution for musicians, artists and media
designers. We need help on all fronts! you can type a mail? you're
hired! :)

Free Libre Open Source Soup + Art
---------------------------------
(as seen in /usr/share/soup)
A nice soup, a classic combination made with both fresh and
ground coriander - but the fresh coriander added near the end of cooking
really adds the bright flavour of coriander to match with the carrot.
Ingredients
===========
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 large onion,diced
* 500g carrots, diced
* 1 teaspoon ground coriander
* 1.2 litres vegetable stock
* large bunch Fresh Coriander, roughly chopped
* Salt
* Black Pepper
Method
======
1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan, to a medium heat.
2. Add the sliced carrots and diced onions. Cook for approximately 5
minutes until they start to soften.
3. Add the ground coriander and salt & pepper. Cook for a further 1
minute.
4. Add the vegetable stock bring the mixture to the boil. Simmer for
10-15 minutes until the carrots are very soft.
5. Blend until smooth.
6. Add the fresh coriander.
7. Serve.

*Call for collaborators
Open Up Workshop: projects for the digital façade of Medialab-Prado**
*
Deadline: *February 8, 2010 **
*Dates of the workshop: *February 9 through 23, 2010
*Venue: *Medialab-Prado* in Madrid (Spain)
Join us for the Open Up international workshop! This event is focused on
the development of 8 selected projects for the digital façade in
Medialab-Prado cultural center's building. The goals of the workshop are
to explore the relationship between the urban screen and public space,
to experiment with the screen’s communicative, narrative and visual
capacities, and to investigate its potential to offer new forms of
participation.
According to its field of interest, each collaborator can be part of any
team, bringing his/her knowledge and ideas to the workgroup and, at the
same time, learning from the group and the teachers: *Jordi Claramonte*,
*Chandler McWilliams*,* Casey Reas*, and *Víctor Viña*.* *Directed and
coordinated by Nerea Calvillo.* *
*
*For residents out of Madrid, Medialab-Prado will cover for the stay of
a limited number of participants at a Youth Hostel during the workshop.*
*
No entry fees.

2nd Int. Symposium on Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics
Dates: 2010 May 6-7, Paris, France
ambi10 - Call for Participation
http://ambisonics10.ircam.fr
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce the 2nd International Symposium on
Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics, which will be organized by IRCAM,
together with LIMSI-CNRS and France Telecom/Orange Labs. The Symposium
will be held to provide an intensive exchange between industrial and
academic researchers working in various research areas on spherical
acoustics.
The field of spatial sound reproduction is interdisciplinary by nature
and closely related to a number of computer science and engineering
areas such as acoustics, mathematics, signal processing, and
perception. The symposium focuses on discussing the various problems
and solutions concerning the capture, analysis, and re-synthesis of
sound fields applying spherical acoustics; for example higher-order
Ambisonics (HOA), and spherical microphone arrays.
The symposium is going to be divided into oral presentations (keynotes
and submissions), poster sessions, and two demonstration sessions
(artistic and technical). This symposium will benefit from a hemi-
spherical loudspeaker array that will be installed for the duration of
the symposium, which will be held in the Espace de projection, the
variable acoustics performance hall of Ircam.
Original contributions are encouraged in, but not limited to, the
following topics:
* General considerations on spherical acoustics theory
* Ambisonic for sound scene reproduction and virtual acoustic
environments
* Spherical microphone array systems and signal processing
* Capture and analysis of radiation patterns
* Spherical acoustic holography
* Synthesis of directional and focused sound sources
* Spherical loudspeaker array systems and signal processing
* Theoretical considerations on comparative subjective and objective
studies
* Standardization, exchange, implementation and hardware issues
Submission
==========
Submissions will be judged based on extended abstracts (1000 words).
Procedures to submit papers, posters, and demo sessions are detailed
at the symposium website http://ambisonics10.ircam.fr. Final papers
must be camera-ready conforming to the format specified on the
submission website.
Several excellent papers will be selected for collective submission to
Acta Acustica united with Acustica. These papers will be expanded
versions of the presented works, and will go through the standard peer
review process.
The official language of the symposium is English.
Important dates
===============
*** Extended abstract (1000 words) submission due: January 15th, 2010
