Hi Andy,

It is always nice to know how Pd has been used in research and in academic field as well as in artistic practices. Well, sometimes these practices all merge with each other, and Pd has been an environment that resonates well with people's expectations in these fields. I am sure the community and Miller both are aware of that :)

Hey Koray,

It's been a brilliant year at SAE Institute too. Looking through the assignments from my last intake of audio engineering students makes me well proud and optimistic. They have been using Pure Data for all sorts of stuff, from compositions to audio games, effects processing plugins and custom DAW applications.

I've made a syllabus for Sound Design at masters level which may get used at a couple of universities, and it uses Pd extensively. Also been mentoring a growing number of research students using it for PhD or post doc work, so it's become such an important tool - I hope the community and Miller remain aware of the wonderful things Pd has enabled.

hi all,

Next week I will teach Composing with Pure Data course at Media Lab Helsinki and I would like to proudly announce that it has already been one of the advanced studies in the curriculum since five years for both MA and DA students. Each year this course received a growing amount of attention which resulted in using Pd in student master thesis, relevant projects and live performances. As Pd environment evolved over the years, course curriculum also updated itself. Besides the regular Sound - Image - Network - Physical modules, this year I will introduce RjDj and involve OpenCV examples in the Image module. This course also increased the attention to the open source environments in new media studies and applications. There is no doubt that Pd community deserves the warmest thanks for the success of this course :)

cheers,

Koray
