Call for nominations for the upcoming 2019 p5.js Contributor's Conference!
p5.js (http://p5js.org) is a free, open-source JavaScript library for creating graphic and interactive experiences on the web, based on the core principles of Processing. It is widely regarded as the major way forward for sharing Processing sketches in the browser.

The p5.js community is a vibrant and forward thinking group of creators from around the world. The upcoming 2019 Contributor's Conference will be held at Carnegie Mellon University’s Frank-Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry in Pittsburgh, PA. (More info below!)

This year, we’re calling for nominations to create our participant roster! Take a second and use the form below to nominate a friend, colleague, student, forum buddy, favorite thinker or creator to be one of our 2019 conference contributors. We’re looking for a diverse group of open-minded thinkers, generous team-members, and curious tech-engaged individuals. We’re casting our net far and wide so we can include some new voices at the core of our community. Consider nominating folks whose work is not yet recognized, who have never been to a conference before, or who're very active on the online community but may not have had a chance to participate in person yet! We encourage nominations of previous contributors as well as people who have not yet been a part of the project. Beginners welcome!

This deadline for this call is May 8th, 2019 at midnight PST.

The Conference!
Over August 13-18, the p5.js community will gather together to push the p5.js environment and community to the next level. This means developers, designers, writers, educators, and other smart folks from all backgrounds and skill levels will link up to participate in a series of conversations, creative projects, and community building activities in direct support of the rapidly expanding present and bright futures of the p5.js platform. We’ll separate into a few small groups to focus on the following topics:

Accessibility
How can p5.js contribute to the inclusive design landscape? How can we wield it to create new, accommodative technologies? What features can we build to better center those outside of a typical intended user demographic? What myths can we dispel about the kinds of people that use p5 and use code creatively?

Music and Code in Performance
 A look at live coding, versus built interfaces and hardware integration. What new tools or interfaces can we create to encourage live group collaboration? How can we create responsive relationships between p5.js and the body?

Internationalization
How do enable people all over the world to participate in p5.js? This goes beyond translation to thinking about teaching materials, outreach, and different styles of communicating, learning, and creating.

p5.js in the Wild
How does p5.js fit into the wider Internet ecosystem, and the landscape of creative technology? What interfaces, extensions, and bridges can we build to make p5.js mashup dreams come true?


We’ve invited a celebrated community member (TBA!) to lead each chapter; these facilitators are there to help kick off the brainstorming and reflection. Output may include (but is not limited to!) works of art, new features, bug fixes, documentation, tutorials, outreach, essays, performances, and more.

At the end of the week, we’ll have a day where we invite the public to join us in our discoveries through a series of presentations, panels, and art exhibition.

Each participant will be supported in their participation with small honorarium, funding for travel, and food and accommodations during their stay.
