[Uni-verse] Start up meeting

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi Gert,

I'm fine with 2-4 february. Can you forward me details where to book a  
hotel best?

I've been looking around in Amsterdam to find people to help the  
Blender Foundation getting started with Uni-verse, and helping our  
organization to grow more mature to manage it all. With just myself, a  
bookkeeper and system-administrator we won't get there!

For the consortium I would like to introduce two people who will work  
for the BF from now:

-> Angela Plohman, project manager/producer
She will be assigned to sort out the whole Uni-verse project,  
scheduling it, mapping out all financial issues for it, preparing and  
checking on proper administration and bookkeeping. She will also act as  
producer to initiate new BF projects, and get additional  
sponsoring/subsidies for that. A quite essential role for the  
dissemination part.
I will add her to this mailing list, so she can communicate here on  
behalf of the BF on all organisational and financial matters for the  
Uni-verse project. This frees up my time to do the actual work. :)

-> Saskia Pessers, subsidy consultancy
Saskia's expertise will be used to help getting us the additional  
government subsidies for Uni-verse. For this she'll get insight in the  
papers we've submitted to the EU, but she won't act on behalf of the BF  
related to this project. It might be possible she has questions on this  
project, which will be forwarded by me then.

Based on their help, I'll be able to have a good schedule for 2004 by  
the end of the month. Starting one month later then was no problem at  
all for me.... the work on Blender seems to grow exponentially the past  
period.

Regards,

-Ton-
