Well, I hinted at it in a kind of erratum because I wanted to say that I
didn't patch pd. I forced [print] to be an alias of [gf.print], but first
I wrote [gf.print], which is a C++-based clone of [print]... though I
already had something similar because I had made [display].

It's not like there's a Pd~con often enough. To me, Piksel 2005-2006 was
an occasion to meet a good number of Pd people.

Well, if I can find the same Pd people in both music-oriented and
audio-oriented confs, there's not much difference.

So, why does it switch around from ... to SC3 to Pd to ...? and I suppose
that at the same time it's not an official theme? Another conf trying to
compensate for the lack of an annual Pd Convention?
