LOSSLivecode2007
Conferences and performances on livecoding (and more generally artistic interactive programming)
The current idea is to have the main conference and some night time performances in Sheffield, and a night of performances in London.
Date
Sometime around mid July
Current idea is pre-event in london on a thurs, then workshop/symposium/performances in sheffield fri-sun.
Clashes:
- NIME2007 (June 6-10)
- CC07 (June 17-19) http://www.doc.gold.ac.uk/isms/CC07/
- glastonbury (June 22-24th) (might not be a problem)
- sonic arts expo June 22-25?
Possibilities:
- 13/14/15 July
- 20/21/22 July
Preferences:
Click: 30th June-1st July is good for me, 5th-8th July: I could do a London thing on Thursday 5th but would be leaving the country on the 6th.
28-30th is impossible for me (julian): conference in Cologne. 5th July favourite.
Previous date thoughts:
- maybe the end of the academic year? (alex m)
- early-mid August best for me, but not so good for gig audiences perhaps. o/w just during academic term times but over a weekend?
- august ist _really_ bad for me, since there is the pd~convention starting at 21st august and i'd like to spend some weeks in canada prior to this (right after the pd~convention there is the icmc, which would make 3 interesting conferences in 1 month) (IO)
- Sept may be good for me, after ICMC in late August and Ars Electronica early Sept. Andrew B.
- Sept is bad for other conferences though- SuperCollider conference, DAFX, ISMIR, and then a newuni term... so i guess we can't please everyone, so you might want to just choose and then have us fit in as best we can.

Other ideas
- We should make a website with papers given at the conference video from the performances, under a creative commons license (with opt-out if people wish) (alex)
- We should try a few performance workshops as spaces to try out new ideas for collaborative and alternative performance modes
