How can we make the keymap system (both default keys and overall structure/customization) work in a way that doesn’t force people to mostly utilize defaults or to start from scratch? The overwhelming number of default keys is a particular focus area.</li><li class="gmail_msg">How can we improve tool workflow, including the Selection > Action paradigm, to be more consistent while also requiring less UI? In particular, how can we improve Modal Operators and Operator Settings within the context of the viewport?</li></ul></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="gmail_msg"> <br class="gmail_msg"> <div id="m_2053131570096746634bloop_sign_1478457361263262976" class="m_2053131570096746634bloop_sign gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg">-- <br class="gmail_msg">Jonathan Williamson</div></div></div><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class="gmail_msg"> <br class="gmail_msg"><p class="m_2053131570096746634airmail_on gmail_msg">On November 6, 2016 at 11:02:55 AM, Ton Roosendaal (<a href="mailto:ton@blender.org" class="gmail_msg" target="_blank">ton@blender.org</a>) wrote:</p> <blockquote type="cite" class="m_2053131570096746634clean_bq gmail_msg"><span class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg"><div class="gmail_msg"></div><div class="gmail_msg">Hi all,<br class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg">The workshop will be here in Blender Institute, 25-27 November.<br class="gmail_msg">Confirmed participants are:<br class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg">- Jonathan Williamson<br class="gmail_msg">- Pablo Vazquez<br class="gmail_msg">- Julian Eisel<br class="gmail_msg">- Paweł Łyczkowski<br class="gmail_msg">- Daniel Lara<br class="gmail_msg">- Sebastian Koenig<br class="gmail_msg">- Bastien Montagne<br class="gmail_msg">- Brecht van Lommel<br class="gmail_msg">- Mike Pan<br class="gmail_msg"><br class="gmail_msg">I'm very happy to confirm that we'll get additional development support from Aleph Objects (Lulzbot 3D printer) to hire people for coding and designing work. Work would be on '2.8 workflow' in general, but result should lead to a release-compatible Blender version that's configured to be suitable for kids or occasional users to make 3d prints.
