[sc-dev] SuperCollider Symposium July 2006

[Scott Wilson <sdwilson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,
               We've decided to go ahead with a SuperCollider 3 
Symposium from July 24-30 this year, at the University of Birmingham in 
the UK. The plan is to have a three day beginners course from 24-26, 
two days of workshops on advanced topics from 27-28, and developer 
presentations and working group meetings for the weekend 29-30. There 
is also the hope of a concert with the BEAST sound system for the 
Friday night, and there should also be chance to arrange some bar/club 
based performances. The symposium would be held at the University of 
Birmingham music department, with the possibility of accommodation in 
university student housing.

The keynote speaker, all funding permitting, will be James McCartney.

We are hoping to minimise costs to developers to attend; whilst this is 
unlikely to cover flight or subsistence costs, we want to avoid 
charging any conference fee. There will be charges for attending 
workshops (except for those who want to run one!); the symposium will 
aim to be entirely non-profit making.

Any academics who wanted to join the conference committee and assist 
with grant proposals very much welcomed!

looking forward,
Scott Wilson and Nick Collins
