Jon,

I see that the Intensive Csound and Automated Music Comp. Workshops are
restricted to only 15 and 25 participants respectively. Given what I believe
to be the importance of such workshops to the wider computer music community,
and the difficulty of attending for many of us from overseas, would it be
possible to put together some sort of package that we could all access from
www.music.unt.edu/CEMI/cb/ ? In this way, many more people could benefit from
the workshops. 

I don't know what form this package would take, but I for one would be willing
to pay for it as it would be a very valuable resource. I don't think we have
to persist with the traditional concept of a workshop in the physical
face-to-face sense. There must be a way of bringing a workshop to the Net. The
package has to be more than just documentation of each session's proceedings,
after the event. 

Ideally, a two-way interaction (not necessarily real-time) between those
physically attending, and the on-line participants (observers ?) would be the
way to go. The on-liners could run examples, exercises etc. after logging off 
from each session, and have valuable feedback to contribute to the next one.

If  this is impractical, then on-line participants could at least be observers
- but could still access exercises and examples to try out for themselves.

 

All the best,
