yes, there is this community gathering around Pd and people are putting lot of work into the project; developers, patch coders, users, artists, tech/industry people, teachers, students, people who provide infrastructure, servers, rooms, hosting, web designer, people who work on tutorials, help patches... > I suppose it depends on what you > define as Pd.

If there is no "big head" then initatives like summer of code are a good alternative. encouraging people to set up their own project, funding, and being in charge of what to do with money. > In any case I support your effort, I can help by tracking down > supporting texts, etc. thnks. marius. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
