[Bf-education] Blender Foundation update

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Angela Plohman, who helped organizing the Blender conference, will be  
assigned soon to the 'education project' to help out coordinating. We  
currently are still too busy with end-of-year reporting...  
unfortunately the subsidies we received involve a lot of adminstrative  
overhead, something that has to be done first. :)

Apart from that, our aim is still to have education/training material  
developed in 2005! More about that later.

My direct incentive to mail is the pending issue we still have with a  
stock of about 1200 "misprints" of the 2.3 Guide. These books have too  
bright images (screenshots) which are readable, but not always clear in  
a glance...
As promised back in early 2004, the BF seeks for a party to purchase  
the entire stock for cost-price, preferably an organization who  
supports educational initiatives.

Would anyone here on the maillist know an organization (or maybe  
yourself?) who would be interested in getting (parts of) the stock? The  
cost price is minimum 5 euro per book, excluding shipping... but we  
cannot ship quantities like 10 or 20 books... would be too expensive  
for us to start doing that.

Thanks!

-Ton-
