[Bf-committers] Blender Development fund update

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

BTW: Blender Institute income (shop, publishing, training, subsidies) is sufficient to cover for myself, shop/bookkeeping, offices, and usually 1 or 2 developers. It's just that - without an open movie project - we can't afford 3 devs now. So that's what the Foundation covers then, via donations and Dev Fund.
