[PD] next conv in Brasil... meaning business

[Ed Kelly]

Hey alex, good to see you in Montreal,

I think the small things happen all the time, at least that's what we strive for I hope. Meanwhile, the big thing can happen too in 2009. One thing I think would be a really good idea is if there is some kind of map around when things happen - the conferences always happen at about the same time every year. I've been at the ICMC twice now and I intend to go again, but that's always the last week of August or first week of September (for example).

Really, conferences are far too short -- and busy. If we can find a two-week window in the international conference schedule (ISMIR. ICMC. Pris Ars Electronica, NIME etc) then we could do it then.

Balancing this, those of us who have academic commitments need the summer to finalize our work, often, so maybe late July/Early August would be a good time?

But---this is two years away. We still need to be precise about it though, because funding agencies are keen to have timetables/schedules etc.

And I was gutted I didn't go to the party...but I'd love to see you all in Sao Paulo in two years time...

Best,
Ed

Is actually the opposite. I Believe we could get much more involvement and fundings from it here in Brasil! :)

Sure, Cool... And as I said, it's nice to have some local meetings before an international one... and the goal must be gathering people! Users, whatever... like you described.

hmmm, yeah, the event in Montreal could be much longer if things werent all at the same time... 

We could have here a longer event. If it is "smaller", things could be not simultaneous... one way or another, there should be plenty space and material
 for a Convention here...

Cheers
