Greetings Folks,

I've been paying attention to what's going on at www.blender.nl lately
and feel like what is happening there is something really positive and
worth sharing.

Blender as some of you may or may not know, was/is again available as a
compact multi-platform 3D drawing/rendering program.

The source was closed and Blender eventually went bankrupt (or something
like that). Suddenly for a while you couldn't download Blender anymore
and the site was down...etc.

recently they started to a fund raising campaign (with a target) to open
the sources. What I find most heartening is that since starting the fund
raising (about a month ago), they are about 2/3 towards their goal.

I see this as a great way for people to move from closed to open source
and continue to earn a living at the same time.

food for thought at any rate.

Marcel
