We have some hopes of live networking more widely, but regardless of that
it seems worthwhile to post the agenda here quickly for Pd-folk to
peruse. And maybe insights will be provoked (on Pd-list and elsewhere) as
a good result.
Also ** Please remember ** if you "were thinking of" making a donation to
the New Blankets Artist-in-Transit mini-fundraiser for Jonathan Wilkes,
there are only a few days left to do that eligible for matching funding
from New Blankets.
Please e-mail me or e-mail the AIT fundraising address
"wilkes_ait at newblankets.org" and let us know to set aside the match $$ for
you, if you like. Many people of course have contributed ideas and
congratulations to Jonathan -- far more valuable but not accepted at the
beans-and-rice store, of course :)
The agenda below is also online/updated at
http://newblankets.org/roundtable_agenda.html
(and you may save time/stop_reading now if you prefer to go there)
PdWeekend Friday Ramp-Up Roundtable
"Brainstorming with Miller & Friends" (UCSD Campus)
8:00A(1hr) VIP Promenade & Random Social Meandering (+ Room
Setup) Coffee, Tea, Juice, Bagels ad lib
9:00A(30m) Sound Spatialization w/Hoa Library CICM/Paris 8 team
((live via network)) Guillot,Sèdes,Paris HoaLibrary allows musicians
and composers to synthesize, transform and render sound fields in a
creative and artistic way. This library facilitates the understanding
and the appropriation of key concepts of Ambisonics. Thanks to original
graphical interfaces, HoaLibrary offers a lot of new signal processing
like diffuse sound field synthesis, perspective distortion or spatial
filtering.
9:30A(30m) New Blankets and Puredata from the top and the roots.
Rustomji Vania Gi Vania, one of the founders of New Blankets, will
explore and discuss perspectives on how New Blankets and Pd synergy has
developed since 2008 when Miller joined the founding Board. The
"Suitcase Supercomputer" first built right here in Atkinson Hall out of
PSP+cameras+Wifi (with Miller & many Friends and Friends of Friends),
the first ever Fedora-Pd-extended Live Stick which Gi designed and
produced with Hans-Christoph Steiner, the Pd+RPi workshops that he has
enabled and participated in with Miller since the first 100 Pd+RPi kits
arrived last year for circulation -- and more. Note: Without bringing a
crystal ball to roll but with a new role at Southern Illinois
University as Deputy Director for Research Computing and
Cyberinfrastructure Gi will outline (and try to instigatediscussion of)
New Blankets' possible best initiatives forward for 2014. In fact it
seems likely that in 2014 the Venn diagrams of community open
benevolent activity will show New Blankets in a much thicker overlap
with mainline campus computing and professional/academic libraries.
With his commitment to New Blankets and technical leadership role at
SIU Gi is a principal architect of how New Blankets will find a good
path forward -- with many universities, museums and cultural centers.
And "Mr. Gi" is quite a good listener as well. So let the NB discussion
roll!
10:00A(30m) Recent Usability Improvements to Pd Jonathan Wilkes
New Blankets Artist-in-Transit 2014 Overview of some usability
improvements to
Pd, including info objects, documentation search engine,
multi-connection shortcuts, and some new datastructure objects. Plus a
few ideas for future improvements. [ITPS: It's the ponies, silly.]
10:30A(30m)
11:00A(30m) RaspberryPi rigging & cheap tricks + Sneak_Peek of Saturday
AM Workshop Miller Puckette
11:30A(30m) Break for Lunch
1:00P(30m) netpd Roman Haefeli netpd is a CRNMME (Collaborative
Realtime Networked Music Making Environment) built in Pure Data. It
allows many users to have a realtime jam sessions with each other,
connected over the net. Users might contribute their own netpd-ized
patches a.k.a. instruments or use pre-existing ones. The set of
patches, as well as the state of each is synchronized between clients
in order to provide identical experience for every connected user.
1:30P(30m) High Performance Wireless Innovation -- Experience from
HPWREN Hans-Werner Braun HPWREN functions as a collaborative
Internet-connected cyberinfrastructure on research, education, and
public safety activities. The project supports a wireless data network
in San Diego, Riverside, and Imperial counties (topology). The network
includes backbone nodes, typically on mountain tops, to connect often
hard-to-reach areas in remote environments.
2:00P(30m) DIY Mic Kit, Slice//Jockey & Saturday Workshop Preview Katja
Vetter The inimitable Katja Vetter will show the remarkable things
she's invented and constructed with and for Pd. She will also inspire
with her performance skills -- thereby also offering a Sneak Peek of:
her Saturday workshop, the Live Jam Saturday evening and the Patching
Circle in one fell memorable swoop.
2:30P(30m) What's new in Pd 0.43 +Sneak_Peek of Sunday CrashSpace
Patching Circle Miller Puckette
3:00P(30m) Pdl2Ork + Saturday workshop Sneak_Peek Ico Bukvic "At L2Ork
we seek to explore new and exciting opportunities that arise from
combining the quintessential form of collaboration with centuries of
tradition found in the Western orchestra, with affordable and versatile
contemporary technology, in this case laptops. Since laptops, unlike
traditional instruments can take on many different roles, we believe
that there is no single ultimate way to implement a laptop orchestra
and we see this as its greatest potential."
3:30P(30m) Reflection and Recap Miller and All After a few minutes of
"topics whiteboarding" Miller will lead a discussion the day's loose
ends and promising further directions -- as well as his "takeaway
impressions" recap: insights and/or conundrums gleaned from all the
presenters and discussions.
