[Bf-committers] Blender weekly eeting minutes, 13 January 2013

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

Yeah, eating minutes ;)

What I forgot:

- New splash committee will be appointed by the old one. Proposal is that they select an artist or artwork for 2.66 splash, but only when the .blend file gets published (Under CC-by-sa or CC-by).
