Ton graciously agreed to be interviewed about future Blender developments while at the Blender booth at Siggraph 2011 in Vancouver. He spoke of the new Project Mango Open Source Movie Project that starts up in the fall, technical advances for Blender 3D software and the upcoming Blender network which will start in the fall.
I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

Thank you, Ton and every other Blender developers, for all your hard work!
The interview is short and lightening!
awesome! so when are we going to see a full length feature from the team? a project strawberries... They certainly have the talent.
Maybe the day will come that he will have to refuse interviews.
Great Interview, bright future for Blender.
