[Bf-marketing] Fwd: News Link Request...

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

I've replied to him that I can't help soon... we also don't do banners  
on our website. And I don't like to add stuff like this on the  
frontpage either.

But, what I do like to see is a section on blender.org where we can  
allow third parties to showcase their products. A sort of 'third party  
catalog' or so.

There's more companies supporting blender now... anyone? :)
