About Pd-L2Ork
Pd-L2Ork is a fork of the ubiquitous Pure-Data focusing on improved user 
interface, expanded collection of externals, and an advanced SVG-enabled 
graphical front-end. Originally it was introduced as the core 
infrastructure for the Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork 
http://l2ork.icat.vt.edu), and has since expanded to include K-12 
learning module with a unique learning environment offering adaptable 
granularity that has been utilized in over dozen maker workshops and 
initiatives, including the Raspberry Pi Orchestra program for middle 
school children introduced in the summer 2014. Today, pd-l2ork is being 
developed by a growing number of international collaborators and 
contributors.
