>  ABOUT THE EVENT:
> Puredata, or just Pd <http://puredata.info/>, is an open source tool for
> multimedia programming. Because of its open source nature, much of its
> development result from a community effort of developers worldwide. Some
> centers do have more people engaged, like the places that held the two
> previous conventions.
>
> the first convention took place in Graz, Austria, in
> 2004 http://puredata.info/community/projects/convention04/. The second
> happened in Montreal, Canada, in 2007 http://pure-data.ca/en/. It is a great
> satisfaction that we continue this event by bringing it to yet another
> continent, with the intent to promote the formation of an important group of
> developers locally. In fact, in may of 2008, we had a national convention in
> Brazil http://www.estudiolivre.org/tiki-index.php?page=Encontro%20PD, which
> followed the same format of the previous international conventions, and
> worked as a first gathering to organize this international event. The format
> includes the show of artistic works, academic works, discussion regarding
> the interests of the community, and diverse courses.
>
>  CALL FOR WORKS VS. 2.5 (FEB 15TH)

>            Proposals for the Art Festival:
> Performances, Concerts, Audiovisual Presentations & Art Installations (audio
> And/Or Visual):
> As it is the general concept of the event, we long for the discussion
> regarding the aesthetics and politics of Free / Open Source Software Culture
> & technology. In such context, we welcome all forms of works related to
> audio and/or visual, including real-time interactive works, improvisations,
> Live electronics/instrumental/electroacoustic mixes, Sound installations,
> Performances, Network art, Robotics, Software Art and Interdisciplinary
> works.
>
> Demonstrations and General Info about Artistic works can be submitted online
> in Portuguese, Spanish, or English. Please, specify the necessary materials
> so we can do our best to provide them.
>
> If language is a part of the artwork, the festival is open to any idiom,
> although subtitles in English should be provided when applicable.
>
> We look for art installations that adopted Puredata in its development.
> Nevertheless, at the last extent, we are open for works realized under the
> context of Puredata (using puredata in some part of the process) as well as
> open source tools.
>
> We are looking for partners to help us with tickets. Any suggestion is
> welcome.
>
> Note for ART-INSTALLATIONS (Audio And/Or Visual):
> In order to avoid dependence on travel funds from the event, it would be
> nice to have some works installed without the need for the artist(s) to be
> on-site. This also implies that such works should be technically simple.
>
>
>         Call for Posters/Papers:
> Abstracts and papers may be submitted in English. The works will be
> organized in categories depending on what we receive. At first, we
> contemplate a greater distinction into 3 categories: Technical, Artistic and
> Theoretical.
>
> The topics are generally open to the usage of Puredata in interactive art
> production/research, the philosophy and social aspect of Free Open Source
> Culture, and scientific research. Some possible themes could include:
>
> - Programming Puredata externals
> - Puredata versus Max/MSP
> - Puredata versus SuperCollider, CSound, Processing and alike
> - Hacking Puredata
> - Future Projections for Puredata
> - Hacktivist culture
