      Pues que mala onda que los que vivimos fuera del DF no tengamos acceso a este tipo de talleres. A ver si alguien más se anima a organizar algo en Tepic, Nayarit o en Guadalajara, Jalisco… son los lugares que más cerca están de mi casita :D

      Saludos!!!

      Hello,

      I absolutely love Blender! I would like to teach a blender class for some local students. Is there a way in which I can get some help. Could you point me in the direction of perhaps some slides which could be added to a quick class to teach underprivileged youth. I work with a renewable energy company as well and believe in open source software as well as information.
      Thanks!
