ANN: New version of Pd-L2Ork Software Featured in the Inaugural VT ICAT Maker Workshop for Middle-School Kids

by Ivica Ico Bukvic

Apologies for x-posting... It's been a busy summer--pd-l2ork <http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56>has been making big strides towards becoming a robust full-fledged digital signal processing tool. The latest version includes revolutionary preset_hub and preset_node system that supports a wide range of data types as well as abstractions. It is essentially Pd's counterpart toMax's pattrstorage <http://cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/max-ref/pattrstorage.html>. We've also squashed dozens of bugs and clean-ups making pd-l2ork better than ever. Perhaps the most exciting improvement involves Pd-L2Ork'sK12 module <http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?p=1964>geared towards elementary, middle, and high school students. The new version has over 40 objects/abstractions, allowing students to seamlessly interact with both Wiimotes andSARC iteration of Arduino Uno devices (a.k.a. Sarcduino firmware) <http://www.musicsensorsemotion.com/2010/03/08/sarcduino/>. And this very version together with 15 L2Ork stations is being used this week by more than 30 middle-school students as part of the inauguralICAT K12 Maker Workshop <http://www.icat.vt.edu/> taking place in Virginia Tech Institute for Creativity, Arts & Technology's Studio 1. So, head on over to the L2Ork's software page <http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56>and check out what the latest version of pd-l2ork is all about ;-) Best wishes, -- Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound & Intermedia Studio Director, L2Ork Linux Laptop Orchestra Head, ICAT IMPACT Studio Virginia Tech Department of Music Blacksburg, VA 24061-0240 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) disis.music.vt.edu l2ork.music.vt.edu ico.bukvic.net

wiki.LAO - lockdown to registered users

by Robin Gareus

Hi all, http://wiki.linuxaudio.org is seeing an increasing amount of SPAM. For a while it has been sufficient to [fail2]ban IP addresses that incorrectly guess CAPTCHA - ie. prevent brute-force attacks and manually revert the remaining pollution. -- Yet in the last months either CAPTCHA breaking has improved or there are real persons doing the spamming. I did not do statistics, but from watching the changelog I gather that the vast majority of contributions to the wiki comes from registered users. So the idea is to lock the wiki down and only allow registered users (registration requires an email address) to edit it. Thoughts? Objections? robin
