| '''Disclaimer: this is not the official Website for the [[Pure Data]] convention 2011''' instead it is a page to collect information for and about Weimar's application to host this event in 2011. To my knowledge London is the only competition. Priority at this point is to find partners and secure funding for the event.

| [[Image:Pure Data-Icon.png|thumb|right|100px|Pure Data Icon]] | |
| Pure Data (abbreviated: Pd) 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, create 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 Linux, OS X, Windows and even mobile devices.

| Previous conventions have been in [http://puredata.info/community/projects/convention04/ Graz] (2004), [http://puredata.info/community/projects/convention07 Montréal] (2007) and [http://puredata.info/community/projects/convention09 São Paulo] (2009). The upcoming convention would be the fourth installment of this venue.
| | The convention took place in Weimar, Germany from August 8th to 12th and continued in Berlin the 13th and 14th. After [http://puredata.info/community/projects/convention04/ Graz] (2004), [http://puredata.info/community/conventions/convention07 Montréal] (2007) and [http://puredata.info/community/conventions/convention09 São Paulo] (2009) it has been the fourth installment of this event. More than 140 participants from 26 countries were registered. The close collaboration between Bauhaus-University and Music Academy Franz Liszt where computer science, music, media-arts and media-culture meet had created the perfect environment. [[Weimar]] is a small city with 65.000 inhabitants but many venues and places of interest. It is small enough not to get lost or to loose much time in transportation from one place to another. Read the [[PDCON:Testimonials|Testimonials]] of our visitors to get an impression on how people liked it. |

| == Why Weimar? ==
| | Want to know where the next Pure Data Convention will take place? [http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce Subscribe to the Pd-Announce Mailinglist] |
| The close collaboration between Bauhaus-University and Music Academy Franz Liszt where computer science, music, media-arts and media-culture meet is the perfect situation for a Pure Data convention. Weimar has a solid tourist infrastructure with accommodation from budget hostels to 5 star. Weimar is a small place which has many venues and places of interest but is small enough not to get lost or to loose much time in transportation from one place to another.

| === Involving the public === | | ===[[PDCON:Organizers|Sponsors, Partners, Contributors & Organizers]]=== |
| To interact with the public and integrate the citizens of Weimar a number of initiative-projects should be developed. For instance Radio-Lotte could host a live concert with possibilities for interaction. The porcelain bells of the town-hall could be played remotely in some way. A call for works could be issued to encourage the production of artworks which open up ways to interact with the general public.

|
| == When? == | | == Social Media + Promotion == |

| When talking to the organizers of the previous Pd-conventions I realized that the costs calculated here are probably too low as the previous venues spent almost double the budget.

| === Funding ===
| |
| The funding situation seems difficult. Volkswagen Stiftung for example only fund conferences to one specific question with speakers focussing around this. May be that one panel can be condensed something what the Stiftung is willing to support. [http://www.dfg.de DFG] only funds conferences according to how many speakers have PhD or equivalent. In the last Pd conventions there were only a few. Kunststiftung Thüringen might be another possible partner. [http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/culture/funding/2010/call_strand_136_2010_en.php EU Funding for Festivals]. Sponsors could help to keep the costs at a low level. A travel agency should be among them.<br />
