Hello all,

Does anyone know anything about when and where will be the next PdCon? Is there anyone organizing it right now? I was searching for any news about it, but all information I got is several years old already...

Thanks and take care,
Gilberto

The next PdCon is like the next Pd-Extended:
someone will need to organize it.

/me praying~

So it's like a countryside bus: "it comes when it comes, and if it comes!"

But in all seriousness, is there anyone attempting to organize another PdCon? I have been quite busy lately with my university so I didn't follow the mailing list very closely, only our forum here. If there would be something going on, I'd be more than glad to help with whatever I can!

Or you guys could all just simply come here to Prague. Most people here still use Max over Pd (and Mac over Linux for that matter), but the city is wonderful and the beer is delicious

@ricky Hi Ricky, where and when was the last one, have you been there?

At the last one in 2011 in Weimar. I performed and presented there.

That's very cool, Ricky! I really wish there will be another one soon.

Where would be the best place to host one? I've never been to PDCon, but I'd love to. I'm seriously considering going to Node next year.

@What I know that Pd has quite a community in Austria, but I know nothing about other countries.

But I repeat: a beer in a typical pub in Prague costs less than 1 euro, so that may help decide the next PdCon place

Hi all,

I am planning to host (some kind of) Pd Convention in Lawrence, KS in (probably) the 3rd week of June 2015. The reason for the parentheses: the structure is very much open for discussion!

I have done basic fact-finding for a few months and received positive responses from the locals.

Nor does the event planned have to be the only Pd Con of 2015. I sincerely hope to find a plan that fits our community with the Pd online community and expands the map of possible events

So far, some ideas for a bar camp style Pd Con have been discussed on the pd-list, and I think the philosophy fits well:

@czhenry Hi Chuck,

That's great news, thanks for posting all this info here. Unfortunately I probably won't be able to come to the US on that date, I already have an academic trip planned there in September 2015 and I don't think I can afford to do that twice in an year. Nevertheless, I really hope this will work out!

Also, it would be great to have some material from the conference (talks and performances) and uploaded to Youtube or Vimeo. I have been looking for material from the previous PdCons but I found very little online.

Take care and good luck!
Gilberto

@gsagostinho Hi Gilberto
It appears to me the Bauhaus Uni PdCon 2011 website is down at the moment. They have done a great job of maintaining the conference proceedings online. For now, you can view some talks and performances on this vimeo channel:
