[Scottish] Machinista 2004 festival: micro presentation at febuary meeting?
Dear LUG list, As you may or may not know, the Machinista arts+science festival is coming to Glasgow on the 7-9th of may 2004. We have 130 online projects that have been submitted to the online gallery over the last month at: http://www.machinista.org submission deadlines is saturday 28th of feb. 2004 (call for entries at the end of this mail). This year's programme will showcase several Open Source projects and there will be a side project called the FOSS cafe curated by Simon Yuill. We hope this project may be of interest to members of the ScottishLUG with possible room for involvement as the project develops. Simon Yuill is a Glasgow-based artist (currently in working residency in Holland) who works with code. He is interested in both the formal aesthetics of code and its relationships to societal structures. He makes software, organises public events engaging in these issues and writes. He is part of the code art group slateford. www.spring-alpha.org www.slateford.org www.lipparosa.org www.livingzeroes.org As one of the Machinista Glasgow organisers, I would be happy to fill you in on the project so far and. I know it's short notice and that there is a schedule for tomorrow's meeting, but i was wondering if there would be a 10 minute slot at some point in this to introduce Machinista+ quick Q/A session. CAN ANYONE SUGGEST AN APPROPRIATE TIME? (start or end of Livingstone Tower Session , after-session pub meeting or next month?). I have to add that I am a Linux novice, my practice being mostly music/visual hardware design+performance and event organising. You can find links about my other projects from this page: http://www.expo2002.org.uk Most info relating to Machinista can be found online. our report on last year's first Machinista festival in Perm (russia) can be found at: http://www.thesoundsurgery.co.uk/pointless/machinista/page1.html thanks a lot for your time and may be see you tomorrow. David Bernard. *** START *** FOSS Cafe FOSS stands for Free and Open Source Software. FOSS Cafe will run as part of the MACHINISTA festival in Glasgow, 2004. It is intended as an informal meeting ground for people interested in all aspects of FOSS, from dedicated Linux hackers to the curious. It is hoped that the cafe will help bring together FOSS practitioners from across Scotland and the international scene. Some guest speakers are being invited as are all the artists participating in MACHINISTA. FOSS Cafe will be the first of an ongoing series of events called YOUR MACHINES which will be a series of talks and workshops introducing people to the ideas and practices of FOSS. These will include hands-on workshops in FOSS audio and video tools (such as Pure Data and the dynebolic broadcast system), DIY wireless networks and PC recycling. YOUR MACHINES events will take place in the weeks and months following MACHINISTA. They will bring some of the key developers and practitioners from the field to Scotland. They are particularly intended to make FOSS available to artists, media practitioners and non-profit groups but are open to everyone. *** END *** Apologies for cross-posting - Call For Entries - DEADLINE: 28th February 2004 - MACHINISTA 2004 Submissions for the following three themes are welcomed in all media. 1.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Sounds interesting, I hope we would be able to fit in a short spot at some point in the meeting. Last month we were short of time however as an advertised 5 min spot overran by 75 min.( We forgive you Bob) So if you can guarantee to keep it to 10 mins and do the QA in the pub if necessary, I'm guessing it would be OK.
