Hello,
Random self-organising PdCon architecture idea:
1. Pick a location that matches the following criteria:
* Not too expensive to fly/get to for majority of people.
* Somewhere where bulk accommodation is cheap (e.g. camp site).
* Located close to amenities so people can organise their own food etc.
2. Pick a date.
3. Crowd-fund from this community the cost of hiring a large-ish camp
style venue in that location for a few days or a week.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp>
4. Run "bar camp" style self-organizing PdCon where participants
nominate their own talks for the various time slots of the conference on
a wiki such as a page on the pure-data.info site.
With regards to (1) there must be suitable places in the USA that meet
these criteria (although big cities like NY seem to be out) but it would
also be fun to find a large venue somewhere like Bali or Manila or a
small town in India (Hyderabad seems to have particularly cheap flights
for some reason), Chile, rural Italy etc. The Southeast Asia region
looks particularly attractive from a flight-cost point of view and
amenities would generally be very cheap. Obviously it would need to be
reasonably well connected so people can actually get there without too
much expense/hassle. Where are the hidden gems that match this criteria?
Self-organising conference by a group of Pure Data nerds in a place none
of us has been before - what could possibly go wrong? ;)
Cheers,
Chris.

This is how all iSO apps work with local data. You can only write to that specific app's Documents or Temp directories as part of the app sandboxing. Temp is cleared by the OS automatically, I think when the app is closed.
With PdParty, the built in web server provides access to the Documents directory. RjDJ worked in the opposite sense, as Joe says, in that it looked for existing scenes as zipped bundles form the RjDj website or from a local custom RjDj webserver Python script running on your computer. The latter is how I would test RjDj scenes I wrote on my machine.

Also, I encourage people to move useful info like this off of the list and onto the puredata.info FAQ / documentation :D

Looks like you patch in PD using their custom lib, similar to RjDj.

One week left to submit for the Artistic Program at NIME 2015!
May 31 – June 3, 2015
Louisiana State University
Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA
http://nime2015.lsu.eduhttps://nime2015.lsu.edu/call-for-works/
:::Submission Deadlines:::
Artistic program: Performances & Installation works including special call for the DMC Theatre
December 7, 2014
Scientific program: Papers, Workshops, Demonstrations:
Draft submission (mandatory): January 23, 2015
Final submission: January 30, 2015
Artistic Program
Call for Performances
We invite submission of proposals for performances and installations. Proposed performances should have a clear connection with the substance of the NIME conference. We expand the notion of NIME in the performance program to include the exploration of existing interfaces into new sounds, new methods, or new ways of being physical. These performances might re-insert the body into digital performance, or they might suggest new modes of performing and the presentation of live music that go beyond existing practices while exploiting the unique affordances of interfaces and technologies.
We encourage submissions that explore:
• Novel and exploratory use of interfaces in performance
• Both old and new interfaces
• Use of innovative, imaginative and creative methods.
We invite you to consider fully what a performance can be: you should go well beyond demonstrating the interface and we will consider any performance that is in the realm of live, electronically-produced sound, where an interface is central to the realisation of the music.
Special Call – Digital Media Center Theatre
The LSU Center for Computation & Technology’s Digital Media Center Theatre is a custom-designed immersive audio and video environment. The theatre hosts a Christie 4k digital projector, and a Meyer Constellation sound system, with 71 discrete channels and up to 40 directlyaccessibleaudiochannels. Weareinterestedinperformancesthatuse4kvideoand/or massively large loudspeaker arrays as essential components of the work. Also, demonstrations or papers that address massively large loudspeaker arrays are welcome. For more detailed specifications visit https://emdm.music.lsu.edu/research/sound-spatialization/ or contact us at nime-music(a)cct.lsu.edu<mailto:nime-music@cct.lsu.edu>
Call for Installations
NIME 2015 seeks installation and sculptural work to showcase at several locations in Baton Rouge. The theme for all venues will focus on an amalgamation of NIME topics listed below. Special consideration will be given to projects that embody a combination of qualities that are visual, aural, and tangible. Submitted proposals will be subject to a peer review process by an international expert committee. Installations picked to be shown at the LSU Digital Media Center will be exhibited during the length of the conference. Installations picked to be shown at the LSU Museum of Art and the LSU Glassell Gallery will be invited to be part of a longer exhibition spanning a month. These pieces will be shown alongside several invited sound artists whose work addresses NIME.
Scientific Program
Call for Papers
We welcome submissions of original research on scientific and artistic use of new interfaces for musical expression. A non-exhaustive list of NIME related topics is found below. This list is inclusive and indicative. The thematic focus of this year’s edition is Visual | Aural | Tangible and is described in the introduction above. We also encourage submissions that extend, stretch, or challenge the NIME topics and themes.
Topics

• Augmented/hyper instruments
• Novel controllers for collaborative performance
• Sensor and actuator technologies
• Haptic and force feedback devices

• Multimodal expressive interfaces
• Interfaces for musical expression for hearing or visually impaired people
• Interactive game music
• NIME intersections with game design

• Performance analysis
• Performance rendering and generative algorithms
• Machine learning in musical performance
• Experiences with novel interfaces in live performance and composition

• Artistic, cultural, and social impact of NIME technology
• Novel interfaces in music education and entertainment
• Reports on student projects in the framework of NIME-related courses
