Hi all, I would like to advertise our Blender Network initiative for everyone. http://network.blender.org It is meant as our new platform to connect everyone who's professionally using Blender. Academic membership is free. Very important to get all activity listed there. We also will be migrating to...

Just FYI:

https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/06/14/5992/

Might be interesting to hook up with them, Mozilla is well connected, has funding & communication powers.

Angela Plohman (twitter ‏@akpto) now works at Mozilla as operations director, she organized several blender conferences for me!

Just visit our bug tracker to submit reports. http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?atid=498&group_id=9&func=browse Read the reporting guidelines carefully please. We need a case other people can redo clearly. You can also first ask on www.blenderartists.org, to get feedback if you have bug or if thi...

Kat: we make it more simple, it's opt-in for our site. We only publish what subscribers agreed on in advance.

If you donate via paypal you can send us GBP. Via bank it gets automatically exchanged to euros.

Thanks!

JBakker: "who will place work into the network?" : It's an open system, anyone can contact the members via the network site directly, that's why the contact info should be there. Especially during the startup phase, the Network Adminstrator can provide consultancy to potential customers as well, but...

Allow people to work, collect income, be a broker, secure credit card payments. Collect 5% on the income people make. eg: oDesk I think that's way outside of a feasible offering for us to make. Obviously; this kind of service anyone in the network can offer too; brokers or consultants accepting job...

I'm perfectly ok, with the strict authentification proccess proposal and making _all_ contact data aviable to registered people on an obligatory basis. But for anonymous acess I really would like to have some personal control on this. chris The authorization info can even be kept private completely...

Hi, Do you guys know People Per Hour ? It's a website with the same objective as BlenderNetwork, but covers all kind of professionals (Web, Design, IT, Accouting, Translation...). Interesting website! It's a bit intrusive though... and mostly aimed at individuals (freelancers). I rather don't make ...

Grandmaster B: It's certainly not the purpose to exclude people who use Blender professionally. First off; keep in mind this mostly a public directory where you can find support, help or other services. That info will be fully open, and you or your company can access it without fees or memberships. ...

Making contact details aviable without a login is a good idea, although I would prefer to have the abillity to control wich information (especially contact) are aviable to unregistred /only registered people. This might be for some cases relevant, we'll investigate it. However, the minimum is obvio...

Just two minor points: 1. I feel there should be a possibility for "observer" memberships. For example, while I work with design, it's not 3D design, yet I'm very interested in (and fascinated by!) everything Blender. It would be nice if it were possible to gain admittance to the network for hobbyi...

It seems new XCode 4 won't compile Blender at all... better stay away from it until we've investigated it...
