[Bf-committers] Compliments :)

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

We (luckily) don't suffer from an aggressive Marketing & Sales  
deparment. Nevertheless, it remains important to communicate to the  
outside world Blender really is doing great, being used by  
professionals, for serious projects, and attracts more and more users  
each day.

I've already asked Angela (who'll organize the next blender conference  
too) to extract the website statistics and write some more PR &  
marketing oriented contributions for the website to reflect better the  
information we receive.

Below 2 mails I recently got in from users who now are ex-3DS artists  
now. :)

Thanks,

-Ton-
