[Bf-committers] New Blender Foundation/Institute crew

[Andrea Weikert]

Hi Brecht,

Congratulations and best wishes for your new job and challenge. I also 
want to join and express my great thanks and appreciation for your 
excellent and awesome work on Blender so far. I'm also happy that you 
still plan to be involved with Blender development, pretty sure we'll 
still see some awesome stuff from you even if you can't spend as much 
time as before on it now :)

Hi Campbell,

Congratulations to you too, I know you've been wanting this ;).

- Andrea
