ok, here is what I got! They are quite personal news so far, but they have some
important implications.
& The news are (And they have been released to the public only Yesterday!!!):
I have officially finished my Master`s Degree, and have been aproved at the
Doctor`s degree program at USP (State University of Sao Paulo).
So, last few months were kinda crazy to me coz I had to move to Sao Paulo,
Finish writting my Master`s dissertatin, and apply and pass the exams for the
doctorate, including learning a second foreign language.
This means that in the meantime I could only spread the idea in the word of
mouth fashion, and tried to gather some people on a mailing list. The list is
rather shy up tp this moment. So the thing I need to do is spend more time (now
that I am kinda free) gathering the people and the comunities.
So, I have settled down in Sao Paulo and I can check things for an event here!
I am at the State University of Sao Paulo (USP), which is an Institution that
can gladly support this kind of event.
Oh, even more interesting, I am part now of a research group at USP that is
focused on computer music and interacton. We are preparing a project for
fundings to this group just now. If all goes well, this doesn`t necessarily
mean we will have tons of cash for an event like the pdcon, but it is a start.
Nevertheless, the people in this research group is interested in working with
pd and all :)
So Again, I have finally settled down and will start gathering people... the
idea is to promote some local events, and come up, from this events, with a
comitee to organize events nationally, latin americally, and worls widely. So
the next PdCon can happen some time in 2009.
Now, what are you giy`s expectation, ideas, etc, etc etc?
Cheers
