Hi Tim,
Happy New Year.
Thanks - same to you!
Ben Edwards, who is sysadmin at the Trinity Centre in
Bristol
[ http://3ca.org.uk/home ] is interested in hosting a UK libre multimedia
conference this year.
Bristol is not a bad location, as it goes - better than the Isle of
Wight, which I had thought about. It would be more difficult/expensive
for most people to get to, wheras Bristol is quite accessible.
He reckons the Trinity Centre could be made available
for little or nothing and is after an idea of suitable dates. Obviously we
don't want to clash with the ZKM LAD conf or any of the London Linux Expo
type stuff
April has both the Sounds Expo and the ZKM conference - probably too
early as well. There is only one Linux Expo this year and it is in
October. A good resource for planning events is
http://www.linuxcalendar.com/
If you want to attract students and other young people, it might be a
good idea to hold it over the summer holiday period, as long as it
doesn't clash with any of the festivals.
I'd really value your thoughts on the matter
It might be a good idea to bill it as a user-focused event with some
acessible talks from developers. The ZKM conference is primarily a
developer event and there isn't much point in duplicating that, even if
it is in a different country.
I'd have the main sessions over a weekend so that people with jobs they
can't get away from will be able to attend at least some of the
sessions. There should also be a jam session/DJ'ing/VJ'ing event.
We have a mailing list here :
http://lists.serverone.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/3avc-discuss
that Ben has set up for group mailings.
Right, I'll join that today. Are you aiming to get sponsorship for this
event?
Cheers
Daniel

Daniel,
Like the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal this answer comes in triplicate!
I promise not to make a habit of it.
Last Sunday 02 January 2005 15:24, Daniel James was like:
Ah, thanks. That's a useful resource, slightly interesting layout.

A User focussed event sounds rather good to me. I'd like to see some good
working demo set-ups - a recording environment - obviously Live music stuff
too and it would be good to webcast it in a similar manner to ZKM if at all
possible. I guess we'll have to see what we can pull out of the bag.

Yep, It would be good to focus on experiential stuff - actually making music -
hands on sessions, blah ...
Are you aiming to get sponsorship for this
event?
Now there's a good question. Money is always the last thing I think about. I
don't even know where I would set targets for an event like this. The event
is very much in the ideas stage, so more reason for setting the date a bit
later. I'm confident that if we build it they will come, however, many camels
need tying up between now and then.
Thanks for your positive response. :-)
I think the time is right for this particular little idea.
Please pass on mailing list details [0] to anyone who might be interested.
cheers

Hi Tim,
There are bound to be expenses. If linuxaudio.org has raised some cash
by then for sponsorship, then this might be a good thing to spend it
on - but that funding is by no means guaranteed.
I'm currently working on a fundraising compilation CD, but that's a
high risk venture of course. I'm currently underwriting that project
out of my own pocket, as well as the Sounds Expo stand.
it would be good to webcast it
in a similar manner to ZKM if at all possible.
Icecast should be no problem, but you'll need a good internet
connection to serve a decent number of streams, as it's unicast I
think.

Given enough promotion, I think you might be right. The important
thing at this stage is to set a date and a venue, and stick to it.
Cheers

I think we can get help from IRCAM and INET, like we did last year for
LAC. As soon as I have an idea for a set of ideas I will contact the
relevant persons.

Thanks for the offer - I'm sure streaming would really add to the
event, especially if we can put on a good gig in the evening.

You are welcome. Of course, the sentence "I have an idea for a set of
ideas" above should be read "I have an idea for [you decide on] a set
of dates".
