It will be nice if the conferences will be recorded and them published for all of us that can not assist.

"Artificial Intelligence Nodes module inside Blender for expert modeling" whats that a module that does the modeling for you even expertly? Is there a place I can read up on this?

TimF: Yes, that is exactly the problem. There is no way I can plan a trip to Europe in October if I only get the dates in the summer, a few months before. Maybe when I was 20 and could just grab a standby plane ticket and then say in a hostel. Now I need to plan my vacation times well in advance,

BTW we already know the exact dates for SIGGRAPH in 2009: August 3-7 2009 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. That's the kind of advance notice I like!

Harley,

Ton usually has the date set prior to the SIGGRAPH convention.

Thanks Brecht, but I really need an email contact that can tell me when they will know the exact place and dates for 2009. I can't just pop over from Canada with the short notice I normally see. I need to arrange an entire trip around it, get time off work, book flights and hotels, etc. I'd really need some firm information within the next two months or so.

About the relicensing, as far as I know that is about making it possible to plug in closed source code, to let users create commercial games with the game player, or maybe plug in commercial render engines for example. It's not about making Blender itself closed source, it is just that the GPL imposes some restrictions in this area.

Harley, the dates and venue are not set for 2009. It's been Amsterdam somewhere at the end of October every time so it is very likely that will be the case again, but that I can't assure that.

Can someone PLEASE confirm that good quality video of each session will be made available on-line!? I would hate to think all that goodness would not be shared with the whole community.
