Collaboration for ICMC2001 Conference
Hi,
my name is Marco Trevisani, and i'm the International Coordinator of the
ICMC2001 (International Computer Music Conference) that in 2001 will be
held in La Habana, Cuba. THe ICMC is the most important conference in
this field and it includes a technical side (papers, and technical
conferences) and a musical side,concerts installation etc. It is
entering now in its 25th year, and every year is organized in a
different country (the last one just ended in Berlin, before we had
Venice, Honk Kong, Tokio, Stanford, Grece, Denmark and os on). For the
first time it will be organized in a Latin American country and, even
more interesting, in Cuba. It si ususally followed by a large number of
musician, scholars and programmers in the audio field, of course. We
expect around 500, or more to partecipate, and more than the double that
will have works prensented without being phisically in Cuba, even if,
considering theexeptionality of the location we are expecting a boom in
the partecipation.
In the technical session i have also (i'm a long time Linux user and
Debian in the last three years) "won the battle" to have a session on
Linux and audio and "Open Arts, Open Software, Open Hardware", of course
in relation to audio problems.
Well, the reason i'm writing to you is because i was thinking of an
appealing collaboration, at least from my side.
We are starting to consider different options on where to get our page
hosted. Two commecrial ISP companies already offered to host it for
free...well it is good but i think the exceptionality of this
conference, for that year, would require something more interesting.
So i was wondering if Debian would like to host our web page in exchange
of publicity..."propaganda", and having the Linux session conference
under the auspicies of Debian.
What we would need on the hosting side is:
1)....availability as soon as possible (we are already late)
2) Hosting for the web page
3) Access for to that page for myself
4) Help me in order to find one or two volunteers for the web page....:-)
5) Possibility to run scripts (php3 most probably) and a databse
6)Possibility of managing and creating mailing list for the conference
(with either one of the domains icmc2001.org or debian.org)
I know of course that Debian,as a project, is not a ISP...but my idea is
to "redirect" people to Debian and to make Debian as part of the event....
Please, let me know as soon as you can what you think about this,
it would be great if we could collaborate.
Dont hesitate if you have question to contact me (below you'll find also
the direction of the official _pre_beta_beta web page, hosted
temporarily at ccrma, at stanford university)
thank you
