Official announcement on Siggraph website.

The artist’s showcase is always a great way to see what other people are doing with Blender. If you like to show work during the monday afternoon of the Blender Birds of Feather, contact me! (ton at blender org).
Note: Blender BoFs are free to attend, also without Siggraph tickets.

Usually we define one or two hotspots where we can meet other Blender artists/developers during and after showtime.

Meeting point during tradeshow: HP Booth.

Meeting point after 5.30 PM: outside pool + bar of Hotel Figueroa. Great Margeritas here! (just 1 block away from Conference venue)

We are planning a Blender Birds of a Feather session at the first Siggraph Asia, in Singapore, december 2008.

The BoF is being organized by Victor Yap. Contact him if you like to present artwork or development, or help organizing the BoF: renderfun at gmail.com
