"Serving Suggestions" only, at first:
When did you first learn about Pd? (approximate date is OK)
When did you first begin to learn patching with Pd?
Is there a *simple way* to tell us all what the influence of Pd has been on your work, your approach to what you do?
Do you have any specific personal experience of **the Pd-community** being wonderful for you? (Beyond some trite and general fact such as "msp is wonderful... ")
What's your line? Do you think of yourself a professional artist, musician, professor or ...?
I realize that you may be Inspired by the above questions (or not) -- In any case I cordially invite you to send a "kudos" message ASAP to this special address below:
pdcon_kudos@newblankets.org
Re: "collecting/assembling" -- I do not believe in censorship. I do believe in neglecting to forward any communication which is not peaceful and friendly, encouraging and inspiring. Inter alia of your freedoms .. of course you may choose to post your "kudos message" to Pd-list immediately or you may choose not to post it to Pd-list, ad lib.
The messages that I assemble will be "greeting cards" of some sort at PdCon16; maybe these cards simply scattered about on balloons or maybe collected as a little (INFORMAL) keepsake booklet, for those who would dig it. Time will tell.
