Blender.org

Hi, I'm currently doing a project in which I need to run Blender server-side on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux system. This system still uses Python 2.3 + glibc 2.3, and current Blender versions won't run on it (requires Python 2.5 and Glibc 2.4). Can someone build a Blender 2.49 version for me that wor...

I just posted a short article about this on BlenderNation:

This has been happening for years; check out these two articles:

BlenderNation: Selling Blender on eBay
Blender.org: Luxuriousity, scam or open source leech?

Do you mean the 'Getting Started' link? We fixed that tonight. Yes that one. Nobody complained so I'm guessing it's not used much. Well, I'd say that the people who visit this forum don't need that link anymore. New users probably do. Anyway, if people complain we'll send in our cover-up team and m...

Hi everyone,

I'm currently copying the forum database to the new server. Any messages posted here now will be lost. We'll see you in about an hour (we hope on the other side!

We've experienced no problems with our server at BlenderNation. The fact that both BlenderNation and Blender.org gave you the same problem leads be to believe that there was an issue at your and or maybe with your ISP. (BlenderNation and Blender.org are hosted at different companies). Still, it's go...

Ok, gotcha. I'm a bit surprised at the delay; our script is already cached and it only uses the javascript to load about 10 lines of HTML into the page. I'll see what I can do about the delays.

Do other people experience the same problem?

Hi Milky,

I'm not sure what you mean.. The headlines update automatically whenever we post a new article on BlenderNation.

There's a Python 2.3 version for Mac OS X available from the download page.

Have fun,

" Apart from the forum on Elysiun there is real community site for Blender."

Ehm, yes I'll fix that..

B@rt, Ton sort of mentioned that in the last meeting that you plan on retiring from bf-webcontent - any recommendations for a successor (you can email me if you like...) ? LetterRip Oh, he did eh? Funny that he does have the time to talk to you guys but that he cannot find the time to answer the em...

Well, that wasn't really correct now that I read it. It should be: I have given up working on blender.org and intend to stop working for the bf-webcontent group. Instead I'll put my time in my own projects, some of which are Blender related as well. I do like this pro-users idea though so I wouldn't...

if it's going to be anywhere, I think it should be here. Why is that? Blender.org is all about development and not about users, isn't it? B@rt Time to change that is long overdue in my opinion. I agree. I never liked this development-centric blender.org. Apart from the forum on Elysiun there is no ...
