[L2Ork-dev] Purr Data GSoC 2020: Cast of Characters

[Ivica Ico Bukvic]

Hello everyone, my name is Ivica Ico Bukvic and I am the original 
developer of pd-l2ork which is now considered the 1.x branch and a 
precursor to purr-data (a.k.a. pd-l2ork 2.x). I live in Virginia, work 
at Virginia Tech as the director of Creativity+Innovation initiative, 
where I also founded the Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork, 2009, 
http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/) and the Digital Interactive Sound & 
Intermedia Studio (DISIS, 2007). In my previous non-administrative life, 
I spent a lot of time coding/hacking pd-l2ork and am only now getting 
back to it in part due to the COVID-19 that has allowed me to carve out 
a bit of research time (talk about a silver lining). I look forward to 
bringing purr-data up to parity with all the features within the 1.x 
version, so that I can finally transition the Linux Laptop Orchestra to 
using purr-data. I am also excited by the prospect of fully embedding 
the purr-data inside a browser, so that projects like the recently 
released L2Ork Tweeter 
(http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/make-your-own-l2ork/tweeter/) can be 
completely embedded inside a browser. I am particularly passionate about 
the usability aspects of purr-data/pd-l2ork, so I tend to spend a lot of 
time refining things to make both the development and use as seamless as 
possible. I will serve as one of the mentors this summer working with 
Hugo and look forward to interacting with everyone.

With this in mind, I wonder if we may want to set up a periodic zoom 
conference call?

Best,

Ico
