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

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.

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.

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"
