rejon.org is Jon Phillips.

I think this new ongoing Overlap Salon that we are putting on through Overlap.org is going to be nice and fun. If you are into cutting edge music, audio performance, and the technologies related with these, I urge you to come out to this new regular event. Christopher posted more on Overlap.org about this:

This first Overlap Salon event brings together users of Cycling 74′s legendary “build-it-yourself” software universe Max/MSP/Jitter. Cool Max/MSP/Jitter nerds will be able to meet, exchange knowledge, advice, and software patches. Max/MSP/Jitter patches covered in the Salon will also be shared on Overlap.org following the event. All participants are required to bring your their own laptop, beer (if u want) and thinking cap. WIFI provided.

I will bring beer. I wonder if we have any more free beer at Creative Commons actually Anyone interested in coming to this and/or presenting? Let us/me know! If I talk about anything, it will be the anti-max/msp/jitter called PD which I used to hack on back in the UCSD-aze. Also, if you show up, maybe I will talk more about why Lil Wayne is so brilliant and use my Eeepc as an awesome DJ’ing platform.

I wanted to send a big thank you out to The Fedora Project, Max Spevack and Greg DeKoenigsberg for their support of the upcoming Libre Graphics Meeting 2008 in Poland, May 8 - 11!

Dave Neary wrote a good overview of the state of the massively successful fundraiser we put together with Pledgie.com (try it out if you want to raise money for your cause!).

It is still not too late to donate money (you can use paypal with the previous link which will help get more developers to the event. Cheers to all who gave too and linked to the various posts thus truly shedding light onto the huge community of free and open source graphics users and developers out there in the world

Lu posted up some photos of our media event. We are going to roll deep to the Soex Reception tomorrow night with our crew and camera in hand!

Check out some of the photos:

Our best producer Sarah Wylie Ammerman post up some photos from our event last Tuesday on Fabricatorz.com. Bridget Lanigan took these images and she is our official photographer of the event. Following are some of the photos and Sarah Wylie’s comment:

Emcee Jon kept the night rolling smoothly.

Mark captured the performances - his screen was projected in real time in the space.

Amy kicked off the night with her multi-persona routine.

It’s hard to show Magdalena’s performance with just one picture, but here’s a try!

The audience helped Naoko raise her fur-less teddy bears as a backdrop.

At the end, the floor was opened up to anyone who wanted to speak up!
