Hi all, I have been thinking about Open Day in Canada. I saw this sometime back and thought maybe it might be a good fit
https://code.blender.org/2016/11/blender-2-8-project-status/ Extract from the blog post - Tangent Animation, Canada (2+) This Toronto+Winnipeg based animation studio recently completed their first 100% Blender made feature film – Run Ozzy Run. They currently work on their second feature, a scifi story with robots. Tangent hired own developers to work on Blender and Cycles, and supports 1 year of two full time developers in Blender Institute to work on Blender Viewport. http://www.tangent-animation.ca/ The studio is/would be closer to us. If they agree to screen for us, it would be fun for young and old. It should also give an opportunity esp. for the young to know of a career option as well. They could do a small hour or so workshop which would be beneficial for debconf attendees as well . It might also be an opportunity to learn if Debian could in any way also enhance, make it better for blender workflows. What do people think ? Maybe somebody from the debconf local team could connect with them or if you want, I could send them a small mail asking if they would be interested to showcase their work in the conference (on behalf of debconf), lead a workshop and share with debconf attendees whatever troubles they had and see if Debian as a whole can help solve some of them. I could either CC debian-team or CC specific people for that purpose just in case they need some help with logistics or something.

I have CC'ed the current and one of the past maintainers of the package, maybe they might have some specific insight which I lack. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 _______________________________________________ Debconf-discuss mailing list Debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-discuss
