[Bf-committers] Weekly Blender developer minutes, February 16, 2014

[Nkansah Rexford]

Splash screen

Yes I think the call for splash screens on blender artist is great and can
be continued.

Gives others, especially artists the opportunity to feel a part of the
blender software by featuring works from there. Just a splash screen, but
means a lot to the artist.
