+== What is Pure Data? ==
+Pure Data is a dataflow programming language. It is inspired by the way early telecommunication switchboards and modules of analogue synthesizers were interconnected by patch cords. Programs written in Pure Data are flowcharts visualizing their function. Musicians and artists are using Pd to perform, crate music and artworks. Pure Data is free open source software and developed by University of California, San Diego's Professor Miller Puckette and a global community. It runs on Linus, OS X, Windows and even mobile devices.
+== What is a Pd-convention? ==
+A Pure Data convention is an event where users and developers meet, discuss and present their research and artworks. It consists of
+* A '''Conference''' program where developments are presented,
+* '''Workshops''' for in-depth instructions from professionals aimed at interested beginners, ambitioned users and specialists
+* '''Concerts''' and '''Performances'''
