<b><font style="font-size:8pt" size="1"><font style="font-size:12pt" size="3"></font></font></b>No plans to visit LA, but on the Blender 3d education side of things, working with the City of Montreal, I have arranged to begin a Blender 3D club with the use of the resources and space they will provide. If the popularity and interest of the Club is good, they are open to adding Blender 3D courses to the list of computer courses that are currently provided. Planned start is Jan 2012.<br><br>A sad thing I find in Montreal is that some places advertise Blender courses but do not give them. This inculdes The National Film Board and a place called Centre NAD. Centre NAD has not given a Blender courses after the last ones give by Jean Francois Guillmette. Blender is being used to attract students and then 3D Max other are promoted and taught. I am sure this is hurting Blender overall in Montreal. I have written to these groups in the hope that they would stop this practice, but to no avail.<br><br>Blender Rocks!<br><br><br><font style="font-size:10pt" size="2">James Halliwell</font><font style="font-size:8pt" size="1"><font style="font-size:10pt" size="2"><br></font><font style="font-size:10pt" size="2">Montreal QC</font><br><br><br></font><br><br><div>> From: bf-education-request@blender.org<br>> Subject: Bf-education Digest, Vol 73, Issue 5<br>> To: bf-education@blender.org<br>> Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2011 12:00:01 +0100<br>> <br>> Send Bf-education mailing list submissions to<br>> bf-education@blender.org<br>> <br>> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br>> http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-education<br>> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br>> bf-education-request@blender.org<br>> <br>> You can reach the person managing the list at<br>> bf-education-owner@blender.org<br>> <br>> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific<br>> than "Re: Contents of Bf-education digest..."<br>> <br>> <br>> Today's Topics:<br>> <br>> 1.
