These guys are professionals, and I know Leo Laporte does many different podcasts. It would be unreasonable to expect them to know every piece of software they talk about inside out.

Overall the interview was very good. The developers sounded tired, though.

people should be nicer to leo and randal, it was a good episode, and im sure they know a ton more about blender than any mainstream news interviewers would

My last post was simply intended to say "ok, lets forget the whole thing, and let's not bother people in here with any tension", and I apologized for one thing I thought out of place from me.

You keep trying to explain english to me and don't seem to realize that my english is fine, check the transcription I made from the interview, I though you were going to get the message with it that I understand enligh pretty well. So I did understand your jokes from the begining, I simply didn't like them. To mock about something, you first have to love it, or it may be taken as disrespectful, and that is subjective, not a matter of language.

You certainly don't love Blender since you know very little about it. For instance you don't know that "Blender 3D: Noob to pro" has been part of the Blender documentation for very long time, it's included a link in Blender.org's wiki, and some of the authors (check the list) are Developers. For instance, Campbell, the person you were interviewing, and the one you did the "Materials" joke to, twice. So if you laugh twice in the face of one of the persons that puts a lot of work in Blender and in parts of the thing you are mocking about, I personally dislike it. And more if Campbell, other devs, or contributos are involved.
You say it's some independent work and it's not, you are not informed. And if you see individuals collaborating: that's what open source is about, individuals collaborating together, so they are part of Blender.
Matt can laugh at it, and is ok, because he IS Blender (he is a Dev), there's love there. Campbell can laugh at it too, because he IS Blender too and also part of Blender Noob to Pro. They are entitled to, I don't think you are entitled since you don't love (or even know a bit about) it.

You came out with the "self-poke" thing after Matt said it. I find the good intentions of your jokes, at least, "doubtful". And you know what they say: behind every joke there's a part of truth from the one who makes them. It's easy to laugh about something and then say: "hey don't worry, it's a joke". And the joke about Plumiferos, you can say it was self-poke, but what self-poke is to make a joke on people from a developing country? you are not in one. You may say: "it was about open source", but there was more than open source in that comment.

I didn't want to say these things before just to maintain peace, and you refer to me when you say: "not to beat the dead horse". You may not know what happens in the comments of the news on Blender Nation when people like the news: they flood with nice and kind comments, even euphoric optimistic ones. And the comments on this particular news post don't look like in those other succesful news. Don't you think something has happened?.

Keep up the great work, glory to Blender!

There's an ongoing theme mostly US-centric about why we choose "Free Software", since in English "free" can mean either as in freedom (libre in spanish) or without price (nada dinero? sorry, my spanish is bad :-). The "cheap" joke was clearly aimed at that mindset, that the reason people pick FLOSS is because they are not wanting to spend much money.

In fact, both Leo and I have worked with FLOSS for years (even before it was called that), and have a deep respect for the freedoms offered by FLOSS and are fully committed to supporting that. Heck, that's why I'm putting my time into the podcast… to show how cool FLOSS has become, and how committed the contributors are, and to make more people aware of the true depth and diversity of FLOSS.

But standing from there, it's a bit of a self poke to simply say "oh, you picked this because it doesn't cost anything!" We don't actually believe that… it's just said in jest.
