From jon.w.wilkes at gmail.com Fri Feb 8 14:01:32 2019 From: jon.w.wilkes at gmail.com (Jonathan Wilkes) Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2019 14:01:32 -0500 Subject: [L2Ork-dev] Purr Data 2.8.1 Released Message-ID: Hi everyone, Purr Data 2.8.1 is now available: https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data#downloads Changes: * fixed a bug where the "Cancel" button would work on the "Do you want to save..." dialog * added separate help files for [draw svg] and [table]. These used to navigate directly to canvas-help.pd which is confusing for new users * fixed a race by removing an old code path no longer needed by the GUI. This could sometimes be triggered by created a new object and immediately clicking afterwards on a trackpad. * fixed position of cat sprite in the "About Pd" patch. (Thanks to nerrons for this one!) * changed default font-size for new patches to 12 for improved readability. This can be reverted back to size 10 font in the GUI Preferences tab by removing the "-font-size" flag. Please report any bugs: https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/issues Best, Jonathan From aandreo at music.uoa.gr Mon Feb 25 06:42:34 2019 From: aandreo at music.uoa.gr (Areti Andreopoulou) Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 13:42:34 +0200 Subject: [L2Ork-dev] ICAD 2019 - Student ThinkTank Call for Applications - Funding options available Message-ID: ICAD 2019 — Call for Student ThinkTank Appilcations (Student Research Consortium) 25th International Conference on Auditory Display Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK June 23–27, 2019 https://icad2019.icad.org/ Date: Sunday June 23rd, 2019 Time: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Applications due: Friday March 29th, 2019 The Student ThinkTank (Student Research Consortium) is a full day meeting for students doing Graduate or Undergraduate work on auditory display. It will be held on June 23rd. Selected students will give formal presentations and have the opportunity to discuss research ideas and problems with fellow researchers in the field. The program will also include career-related activities. The ThinkTank is your chance to set a whole roomful of auditory researchers to work on your particular research issue, to help you choose which method, tool, technique, or principle to use to save you from heading down a dead end. Besides providing thoughtful insights into your particular project, the ThinkTank will foster friendships and networks among fellow students and researchers that are essential in an international community for auditory display. Financial assistance will be available for selected applicants from US Universities from ICAD and the NSF. Any registered ICAD participants can join as an observer free of charge. If you’d like to attend as an observer, please send an email to icad2019thinktank at icad.org How to apply To apply please submit the following 4 items: 1. Cover Letter Your cover letter should include the following information: * Statement of interest in participating in the ThinkTank. * Full name of the School and Department in which you are studying. * Current stage in your academic program (e.g., completed MS, 2 years into PhD). * Name of the supervising professor. * Your full contact information: address, phone number, and email address. * Title of the research and keywords pertinent to the research. * The URL of your web page (if any). 0. 2. Two-page Research Interest Summary The body of the research summary should provide a clear overview of the research that you have already conducted; is in the process of completing; has planned, or ideas for research that you would like to pursue. The statement should discuss the relevance and potential impact of the research on the field and discuss its broader impact in the world. You are encouraged to include the following sections: * Introduction and problem description. * Brief background and overview of the existing literature. * Goal of the research. * Current status of the research. * Preliminary results accomplished, if any. * Broader Impact of this research. * Open issues, topics to be discussed at the ThinkTank, and expected outcomes from participating in the ThinkTank. For example, you might want to discuss choosing the right tools and techniques, to choosing research topics, to how to organize your thesis, to philosophical or aesthetic issues – anything where you could benefit from the perspectives and experience of other students and experts. 3. Letter of Recommendation Enclose a letter of recommendation written by your Graduate Advisor/Thesis Advisor/Supervisor. Your advisor/supervisor is asked to verify that you are a graduate student, working in the area of sonification or auditory display. (In case of undergraduate student’s submission, please verify the enrolled student status and include information about the undergraduate research project.) Advisors are also encouraged to include an assessment of the current status of your research and an indication of the expected date of its completion. In addition, your advisor is encouraged to indicate what she/he hopes you would both gain and contribute by participating in the ThinkTank. 4. Curriculum Vitae (CV) Please prepare a 1-page CV that relates your background, relevant experience, and research accomplishments. Selection and Presentation: Up to 15 proposals will be selected for formal presentation and “think-tanking”. The selected problems will be representative examples of a widespread problem or will be particularly interesting or challenging (as determined by the expert Panel). Each participant will prepare a 15-minute presentation for all ThinkTank attendees. The Panel will present a report on the ThinkTank in the ICAD 2019 conference program. All those who submit a problem may participate in the ThinkTank to watch the presentations and join in the discussions; however, only the selected submissions will be able to make a formal oral presentation. Even if your problem is not selected you will leave with a sense of what other students are doing and how they are approaching problems in auditory display, as well as new friends to talk about your project with during the rest of the ICAD 2019 conference and in the future. If your problem is selected you may also leave with the breakthrough you need! ThinkTank Panel: The ThinkTank Panel comprises several international researchers who work across a range of disciplines covered by auditory displays. The confirmed Panel members are: * Dr. Areti Andreopoulou (chair), University of Athens * Dr Bruce Walker, Georgia Institute of Technology * Dr. Matti Gröhn, Stereoscape, Finland * Derek Brock, United Stated Naval Research Lab * Dr. Myounghoon Jeon, Virginia Tech * TBC * TBC * How to Submit: Please email your proposal by March 29th, 2019 to the ThinkTank chair at icad2019thinktank at icad.org If you have any questions, please feel free to email us. -- -- Areti Andreopoulou, PhD Assistant Professor in Music Technology Laboratory of Music Acoustics and Technology (LabMAT) Department of Music Studies National and Kapodistrian University of Athens labmat.music.uoa.gr -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am interested in doing GSoC this year with your organization. I looked at the projects and some of them, the Terminal REPL, Core Accessibility and the DSP Profiler one matched my skills interested me much. Can anyone please give me insight as to what exactly we need to do in the projects and how do I start contributing?

Have you worked on an open source project before? For Purr Data, a good place to start is to install it and skim some of the tutorials using the Help Browser in the "Help" menu. That will show you the basic UI and how to generate sound in realtime. Once you've done that, uninstall it and try to build Purr Data using guide here: https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data#build-guide For the projects you listed you can use the `make light` recipe to build only the core without all the extra libraries. All in all it should take about 5-10 minutes. Once you've successfully built and installed Purr Data, try fixing one of the issues on the tracker labeled "good-first-bug." You can use the contributors guide for help: https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data#contributor-guide In fact, I just added a really easy first bug here: https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/issues/509 Best, Jonathan On Thu, Feb 28, 2019 at 1:42 AM Akshat Maheshwari wrote: > Hello, > I am Akshat Maheshwari, a 3rd-year Computer Science undergraduate from > IIIT Hyderabad.
