[Bf-committers] New Blender Foundation/Institute crew

[Agustin Benavidez]

THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A NICE AND SAD NEWS AT THE SAME TIME.

Blender foundation and its community has enough power to go on, but the
leaving of Brecht is a tremendous lost.

All the best lucks to you Brecht, your brilliant future has just begun!
