This is a little off-topic, but as Pd is always an important topic at LAC and many Pd users are running Linux, I thought I'd post a little reminder here (apologies if you have seen this before).

The conference website is at https://lac2017.univ-st-etienne.fr, and the call for papers/workshops/music/etc. and the submission system is at https://lac2017.sciencesconf.org/.

The deadline has just been extended to Feb 28, so there's still ample time to get something done and submit if you plan to attend. (As usual with LAC, attendance is free.)

One thing I forgot to mention: While LAC is about Linux, it's also very much about open-source. So if you have any musical works done with Pd, open-source Pd externals, etc., that's completely eligible for a submission at LAC, no matter what platform you use. Of course, in the case of software it helps if there's nothing that prevents it to run on Linux.

Case in point, I know that at CIEREC, the institute at JMU (Jean Monnet Université) which organizes this year's LAC, they run Pd on all the Mac computers in their computer music lab.
