Reminder: Int. Symposium on Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics, Paris, May 2010 - Call for Papers

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message.]

-----------------------------------------------------------
  2nd Int. Symposium on Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics
  Dates: 2010 May 6-7, Paris, France
  ambi10 - Second Call for Participation
  http://ambisonics10.ircam.fr

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to announce the 2nd International Symposium on  
Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics, which will be organized by IRCAM,  
together with LIMSI-CNRS and France Telecom/Orange Labs. The Symposium  
will be held to provide an intensive exchange between industrial and  
academic researchers working in various research areas on spherical  
acoustics.

The field of spatial sound reproduction is interdisciplinary by nature  
and closely related to a number of computer science and engineering  
areas such as acoustics, mathematics, signal processing, and  
perception. The symposium focuses on discussing the various problems  
and solutions concerning the capture, analysis, and re-synthesis of  
sound fields applying spherical acoustics; for example higher-order  
Ambisonics (HOA), and spherical microphone arrays.

The symposium is going to be divided into oral presentations (keynotes  
and submissions), poster sessions, and two demonstration sessions  
(artistic and technical). This symposium will benefit from a hemi- 
spherical loudspeaker array that will be installed for the duration of  
the symposium, which will be held in the Espace de projection, the  

Deadline extension: Int. Symposium on Ambisonics and Spherical Acoustics 2010 - Submission of Abstracts due January 15th!

*** The paper / demo submission deadline has been extended to January

Pd-berlin meeting next tuesday, 19th Jan

Hello,

next tuesday, 19th January, will be the third meeting of Pure Data users  
in Berlin.

For more information, look up
http://puredata.info/community/organization/pd-berlin/pd-berlin-users-group.  
We also encourage you to take an active part, and put up suggestions for  
topics you want to talk about / topics you want to be talked about.

Doors are open from 20h-20h15. After that they'll be probably closed, and
you will have to call someone at NK to get in. To get a telephone number
to call or confirm assistance you can write to info_at_minitronics.net.

We would apreciate if you would send us a small mail to
info_at_minitronics.net with your name, Pd experience and interests, so
that we know how many people might be coming. Or put your name in the
pd-berlin wiki page.

We would like to thank the support and willingness of NK in the
organization of these events.

Puredyne is a GNU/Linux live distribution aimed at creative people,
looking for tools outside the standard. It provides the best
experimental creative applications alongside a solid set of graphic,
audio and video tools in a fast, minimal package. For everything from
sound art to innovative filmmaking.

Puredyne is optimised for use in realtime audio and video processing. It
distinguishes itself by offering a low latency kernel and the high
responsiveness needed by artists working in this field.

Puredyne is based on Ubuntu and Debian Live. All packages provided by
Puredyne can be used if you are running this flavour of GNU/Linux.

64-bit support!
---------------

(.. and more architectures to come...)

Starting with this release, we are happy to provide support for a new
experimental branch of Puredyne for 64-bit CPUs. We need your feedback
to develop this further, so please get one of these amd64 Puredyne CD or
DVD, and tell us how it works for you!

Yeah, fork me baby!!!

Thanks to broth, the mother of all soups, it is now very easy to make
your own Puredyne based recipe. Get the pan, mix in your ingredients
and cook slowly. Using broth, two new Puredyne/broth based distros have
been released:

 * Puredyne craftivism: a special liveUSB key specially made for the
   craftivism exhibition. You can purchase (at cost) this collector item
   at the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol, UK. http://www.craftivism.net

 * sidistro: a greek flavoured distribution focussed on privacy and 
   anonymity. http://sid.gr/doku.php/agenda/distro

Why not make one yourself? (and impress friends and family with
your very own livethingie)

(we have internets)

Do you like adventures? Giant robots, waterfalls and dinosaurs? Then

Free Libre Open Source Soup + Art
---------------------------------

(as seen in /usr/share/soup)

A nice soup, a classic combination made with both fresh and
ground coriander - but the fresh coriander added near the end of cooking
really adds the bright flavour of coriander to match with the carrot.

Ingredients
===========
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 large onion,diced
* 500g carrots, diced
* 1 teaspoon ground coriander
* 1.2 litres vegetable stock
* large bunch Fresh Coriander, roughly chopped
* Salt
* Black Pepper

Method
======

1. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan, to a medium heat.

2. Add the sliced carrots and diced onions. Cook for approximately 5
   minutes until they start to soften.

3. Add the ground coriander and salt & pepper. Cook for a further 1
   minute.

4. Add the vegetable stock bring the mixture to the boil. Simmer for
   10-15 minutes until the carrots are very soft.

5. Blend until smooth.

6. Add the fresh coriander.

7. Serve.

GridFlow is not only for video stuff.
It's never been only for video stuff.
