Hello,
I am glad to announce version 0.8 of PuREST JSON, code name: I did, I
did taw a putty tat.
PuREST JSON is a library for working with RESTful HTTP webservices, and
JSON data.
Authentication and authorization for webservices are available with
basic HTTP auth, cookie authentication, and OAuth. As an example for
OAuth authenticated webservices, a Twitter client is included.
New objects:
- [rest] performs RESTful HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), but
does not parse the returned values for JSON. Basic HTTP authentication
and cookie authentication possible.
- [oauth] performs OAuth secured RESTful requests (GET and POST).
- [urlparams] concatenates a list of key/value pairs as URL parameters,
and properly escapes special characters
Changes:
- [rest-json] is now an abstraction wrapping [rest] and [json-decode],
but should perform as before
See help files, manual and examples for details.

Hello All!
We proudly announce the new version of ExtendedViewToolkit - the
PureData/GEM abstraction library
for panoramic image/video creation and projection mapping.
It has been a long, but productive time since our last release. Tons of
new features and fixes wait for being discovered by you.
This new version was mainly done during a residency at moddr_/WORM in
Rotterdam.
Amongst other changes, you are looking on a completely re-designed
storage-solution, that enables you to create scene-based video-mapping
setups - with the possibility to add transitions between your scenes.
Within each scene, you can automate basically every parameter in every
module of the toolkit individually.
We made a small technical teaser, to show what's possible with the
scenes: http://vimeo.com/51567993
In addition to our multi-camera panoramic content solution, we
integrated a module for creating 360-degree panoramic content made with
spherical, one camera based, lens- or mirror-systems.
Also, a new video player with instant and saveable controls for
in/out-points, fade-times and loop, waits for being used within your
performance.
On the projection-side we added a module with 5x5 cornerpoints to allow
more detailed settings when projecting on uneven surfaces with just one
projection module. Furthermore we implemented a function to adjust the
perspective distortion into the projection modules.
We sticked to our fear of externals and made the whole toolkit out of
plain PD and GEM without any other external libraries. For the usage of
the remote-control features we recommend the usage of mrpeach´s OSC
library. We tested the toolkit on different machines, and did not have
any issues on Linux, OSX 10.6.8, 10.7.1 and also on Windows 7. If you
discover any problems, please get in touch with us.
Thanks to all the people who constantly support the development of the
toolkit, especially Cyrille Henry, IOhannes, Seppo, Walter&Birgit of
moddr and Patrick Pagano.
Download it here:
https://github.com/extendedview/extended_view_toolkit
If you use it, we strongly encourage you to send us links, videos,
images, etc. of your projects.
We are amazingly interested to see what you create!
Cheers,
Peter & Marian

We invite submissions of papers addressing all areas of audio processing and media creation based on Linux. Papers can focus on technical, artistic and scientific issues and should target developers or users. In our call for music, we are looking for works that have been produced or composed entirely/mostly using Linux.
The online submission of papers, workshops, music and installations is now open at
http://lac.iem.at/

Hey all,
We recently wrote a paper for The Journal of Music Technology & Education
for their 'Open Source Special Issue'.
It will be published in the journal imminently and a slightly differently
formatted version is in the University of Huddersfield repository:
http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/15006/
Abstract here:
"Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) is licensed to allow users the
freedom to copy, reuse, study and develop the software. As a term which
efficiently encompasses both ‘free software’ and ‘open-source’ models,
FLOSS may offer music practitioners and researchers the opportunity to
develop and use such software without becoming mired in a particular
stance. In this article, parallels between FLOSS and experimental music are
explored, with a view to highlighting their compatibility. Through
reflection on the recent composition, recording and distribution of three
text scores, this article examines how the application of a FLOSS framework
may assist with such work in an academic setting and how FLOSS tools might
be utilized in such settings in the future as they become more prevalent,
more reliable and more stable."
Any comments welcome.
All the best,
Julian
Dear all
Sorry for cross-posting, but I am quite proud of this one ;-)
I think this is of interests for the composers who want a great Ph.D.
experience ;-) A fully paid Ph.D. with some very cool mentorship from
HCMF's director Graham McKenzie. Check the potential list of supervisors on
the www.CeReNeM.org <http://www.cerenem.org/> webpage!
