Dear PD Community,
On behalf of the PD Convention Organizing Committee, I am pleased to announce that the second PureData convention will take place in Montréal Canada from August 21st to August 25th, 2007.
The organizing committee in Montréal consists of members from Artengine, Vidéographe, Société des arts technologiques, University of Ottawa, McGill University and Ontario College of Art and Design, along with a few independant artists. For the past few months members of the community from Montréal, Ottawa, New York and Graz have been discussing the organization of the convention and are currently working on defining the event.
In order to help us shape the convention WE NEED YOUR INPUT! If you attended the convention in Graz please give us some feedback, or, if you have suggestions as to what you would like to see at the next PD Convention please let us know. It would be helpful to get your thoughts on what was achieved through the first PD convention. Please post your input before August 16th, 2006.
Thanks in advance for your consideration,
Darsha Hewitt
PD Convention Montréal 2007
Hi Darsha, I did not attend the first convention, but one of my patches was included as an installation, and it featured on the convention DVD. Shortly after the convention local San Francisco pd users (http://pure-data.tribe.net) had a similar meeting that coincided with Mac world to get some of the out of town people there too. My wish list for the second Convention would be:
- Assistance in travel and lodging for the festival, this could be anything
from money, airline tickets, rides, food, passes to events, open submission policy, or even some one's floor to sleep on when I got there. 2. Some club nights, to peform with night club style speaker and video projection systems. 3. Concert Hall events for electro-acoustic works, and surround works. 4. Workshops for people to train pd-users, demonstrate techniques, and externals. 5. Academic paper presentations, panel discussions, etc... 6. Webcams and chat rooms for those who can't physically be there, but want to follow the proceedings.
The first Convention I am sure had some if not all of these features. Obviously we'll have to work within our means, and I am vary excited at the prospect of a second pd convention next year!
Possibly others would have more things to add.
