We spend enough time alone staring at our computers; we are proposing to work together. So often issues that arise when working can be solved with a quick two minute discussion that would take hours to solve alone. We have Dorkbot to see people's work, we have Share where anyone can play, we have workshops and universities to learn from. But we don't have a meeting where we all can come to work.

This is an informal gathering of patching and patchers (Max/MSP/ Jitter, Pure Data, and even jMax, EyesWeb, vvvv, etc.). Beginners and Experienced welcome. Work on school projects, personal projects, ask for help, help others, or just patch quietly to yourself, in a room full of other people patching patches and helping other people patch.

This meeting, there will be an informal focus on controllers: MIDI control surfaces, gamepads, tablets, joysticks, custom electronics, etc. IDMI has a number of such devices to play with, bring your own too!

Depending on the turnout, we will see how soon we will organize the next. I think every week is too much, maybe once a month, we shall see?

This Wednesday, the 22nd from 6pm til 9pm (or whenever).
