Another approach is to have who ever is planning the next pd~conf take control of the donations under the guise of whatever organization that they are working for. I know Alexandre has talked about hosting pd~conf at artengine in Ottawa, CA.
I don't think he was serious about that =) Ottawa, ON is too "small" for such a thing, and I'm including Gatineau, QC, across the bridge. I mean "small" as in not enough Pd users. Ottawa and Gatineau together might be one million people, but if you try to find Pd users, you only find them at Ottawa U or Artengine.
I have strong doubts about being able to do it in Montréal, QC, even though there are several organisms that are involved in Pd stuff currently (Vidéographe, SAT, StudioXX).
I think Montréal is still not ready for such an event, if it has to be a reasonable sequel to PdConvention04.
Right now I'd like to hear _why_ another Pd Convention should happen. Well, I mean, apart from being _damn_ _fun_...
