This is awesome news! It's great to see that also the Blender Foundation
will receive some money to invest it in verse. This is blender.org
frontpage news! Maybe you could submit a news item there (if you're not
already doing this). I think that this news, combined with the Blender
2.32 release, certainly deserves to be on slashdot. Just when there
seems to be so little activity, this happens! I just can't believe it.
Great news.

What is this full day talk thing? Where is it going to be? At some
conference, the institute in Sweden, irc, ...?

Congratulations. This is so exiting. The future sure looks bright.

Cheers,
