[PD] pd~conf 2.0

[Paris Treantafeles]

Hi Hans-Christoph and List,

Thinking out loud....

What about a proposal to NYSCA?
I think that Experimental TV Center has funds too - either of their  
own or through NYSCA.
So far my experience has only been in proposals for individuals but I  
think there's more funding available for organizations.

Other ideas - sponsors like Harvest Works or Eyebeam.
Think they might contribute?

Best,
p
