Hey,
I don't know if you have been following the Reware project, but that
is a core idea of it. Check out our first HOWTO for an intro:

We got some Palms and iPaqs going, then there is the Nokia
Webtablets, iPods, and the BeagleBoard. Gumstix are also possible, I
have one, but I haven't had a chance to work on it yet. Our core
idea is to make a whole linux distro with Pd, Python, and Lua that
has nothing at all running, except your code. Something like Arduino
for hacking PDAs.
It is also possible to install Pd-anywhere packages on a number of
existing distros, like Maemo, Familiar, Angstrom, etc.

I'm gathering information currently for a potential exhibition
involving mobile sound devices for 2010. My criteria are as follows:
- Gathering and processing of environmental sounds
- Open source software and open and/or accessible hardware
- Doesn't make only techno music! ;-)
and optional:
- User's location and/or movement become processing criteria
- Ability to network with other devices to share sounds and
information
The RJDJ project sounds like it fits the first and fourth, I don't
know about the others. I agree with several of the posters on this list who were suspicious of a project using free software but geared only
towards expensive hardware like iPhones. But I don't want to totally discredit the momentum that's gone into this project. So my questions are:
- Can RJDJ "scenes" run on other platforms (Palm, iPaq, Gumstix,
Linux iPod, whatever?) 2) Is anyone working on an RJDJ-like/compatible platform which is actually open and accessible?
I will drop by the Berlin RJDJ sprint with these kind of questions in mind in case anyone wants to discuss them in person.
best! Derek
