Blender at CeBIT 2009, Hannover, Germany
Blender is represented at the CeBIT 2009 this year and we just received a photograph of our team there. CeBIT is open until Sunday March 8th, so if you live in the area go say ‘hi’ :) Good job guys!

I took this photo today at the Blender booth on CEBIT 2009, was 12:51 so just a few hours after the CEBIT was opened.
So far I’m just touching Blender because I’m used to a much different GUI and always was afraid to climb up a new learning curve for the Blender GUI. Bernd Hoppe I think is the left one shown, he showed me how fast you can create a face when you know how to use Blender. This was absolutely amazing, since with no other program before I saw anyone getting first results this fast. So now it’s no question anymore, I’ll dig myself into Blender, climbing that learning curve, it’s really worth it.
Absolutely – there’s no substitute for getting a ‘real life’ demonstration from another Blender user to appreciate Blender’s flexibility and ease of use.
Would have loved to be there to support blender, but unfortunately i have some exams going on. Looking forward to next year ;)
Maybe someone could publish short movie from that event ? I mean the “how fast you can create a face when you know how to use Blender”
I just came home after two days at the blender booth.
I took a lot of photos and we also got some short vids.
i will publish them with a complete report within the next days.
From our point of view, the blender booth is a complete success.
There were lots of people informing themselfs about blender.
I agree 100% with linny about the complete success of this presentation. It’s like living on a nice island in the family atmosphere of linux and the open source community between all the big business around. Many people are very interested in Blender and its projects. But there is one thing i have to correct: (sorry Manfred)
The amazing teacher in face modelling was Phillip Plescher. He makes a very good job here and presents Blender at its best.
There is now an englisch translation of my Blog article about our time at the Blender booth:

@linny: cool, thanks!
I’m just on my way to CEBIT (saturday 10:00 o’clock right now) to visit the blender booth. My idea forsupporting blender is to leave there
–> 20 original data punch cards from 1979
in which I punched blender. Those cards have 80 columns and the older programmers will surely remember how code was punched into them line by line. What I hope is that interrested ones will get such a card against a donation for the blender team. Those who want to decode the holes in the cards will find information for that in internet. Maybe someone gets an idea to make an animation with a futuristic data punch machine turning into something modern scientific construction. Anyway,have fun at the CEBIT :D
