Honestly, I've been thinking for quite a while now about putting together some new kind of festival, much like piksel - related to digital arts with free software and open hardware. It could potentially hold a PdCon in it.

In the meantime, I've been producing and organizing music concerts/shows, and I'm also trying to make another project happen which is a music festival (not related to pd at all). This one is giving me a hard time to get out of paper and it's holding the line. But I believe the other project will have a much greater acceptance and everything, like the PdCon had.

One way or another, I was hoping that PdCon would keep touring the world on its own, and that it'd be cool to have it in the US or somewhere else that it's never been to.

cheers

love those two ideas

I could also add the idea of having some research group working on it. At least here in Brazil I know a couple of people who'd like to back it up.

so yeah, I was waiting for the american PdCon and it never happened :( guess I'll have to make another south american one

cheers

... or money. 

maybe we revisit the kickstarter (or something else) idea brought forth by jonathon a few years ago and just pay someone to do it. to me it seems like 1) none of us really have any money (im just assuming here we are all poor artists) and more importantly 2) none of us really have any time and those that do might not have the skills.

OR maybe we have another PDCon (remember that?) to get amped up and pump something out....

I talked to Hans about this a bit. In essence, it involves bringing in the new pd vanilla source and making sure the Pd-extended additions/modifications aren't lost. With the updates/cleanups to the tcl/tk sources a few years ago (great work Hans et al!), it should be alot easier than the previous extended releases. But still, *easy* or not, it involves time.

I wish I knew something about coding to help out with its development :P I do care a lot about it though and wish I could help in some other way. 

I do see a few problems with extended, but they're basically related to some of the externals and libraries that sometimes do not work as they should, have bad and messy help files and are sometimes redundanct. If welcome, I could help sharing my thoughts and two cents about that, but I realize those are not actual bug fixes regarding the code, so it's not a priority on its to do list and issues for being updated to another release.

Anyway, while were at it, what kind of work exactly do you mean someone would have to do? I suppose there is a great list of bug fixes just to keep it basically what it is. Given the context, I'm not assuming any big to do list for some new features agenda. But besidesthe bug fixes, how hard is it for someone to just update to the latest vanilla core? 

Well, since Pd is an open source project that relies on community effort, and this is the list of its main developers and users, I guess this is the place to talk about a collaboration and see if we can get Pd-extended's development
to continue.

I'd to help in any way I can.

Cheers
