Re: [PD] again, the pdcon in brazil issue
One thing that is going to be quite important is getting travel assistance for lots of people, so that we can bring people who can't afford to pay it on their own, or don't have a university or company that is willing to pay. like me and andy :) ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

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 :) There are a number of foundations that could be interested in sponsoring this. I think Rockefeller and Langlois both have an interest in technology and latin america. That stuff can take a long time, so it would be good to start the contact now. Perhaps some of the pdmtl/pdcon-mtl people have more info and contacts. 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? It would be great to have something like the Montreal PdCon, where there is a mix of art groups, community groups, and academia. I think this mix would be more likely to get grants than just an academic conference. The Montreal crew put together a really nice, big event, but the first was small and good too.

Re: [PD] again, the pdcon in brazil issue
Alex, Being so far away it's unlikely I would make such a journey. Of course I wish you great success to make this happen. An idea I mentioned before was to create a simultaneous multi-location event with video links in intersecting time zones. Perhaps if 2009 is the year of a Portuguese language pdcon a twinned event could be held in Lisbon. Just a crazy suggestion, best, Andy On Wed, 19 Dec 2007 06:18:02 -0800 (PST) PORRES [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ok, here is what I got!
