[PD] PD Convention 2007!

[darsha]

Hi all,

Thanks to those who have sent in comments about the PureData Convention.
Keep them coming!

The plan for the convention is to have several performances,
installations, presentations of papers, workshops, group work sessions
and formal
and informal talks.  Oh yeah, and parties of course ; ).

As far as funding goes we will be applying to the usual arts funding
organizations in Canada
such as the Canada Council for the Arts and various private funding
institutions.  We will be teaming up with a hotel to offer reasonably
priced accommodations.  We will also be offering a billeting service
so participants can stay with pd people while in Montreal for free.
We have a
few fundraiser ideas up our sleeves, but please let us know if you
have any of your own.

We will try to cover as many travel costs as possible, if people can
secure  their own funding
from universities, art councils or arts groups, then that will free up
funds for people out on their own.

A call for artworks, papers, and projects will be released in the near future.

The SAT already has offered their system for streaming so those who
cannot make it to
Montreal can still follow along.

Thanks, and keep the comments coming in.
