From gslindstrom at gmail.com Sat Oct 3 21:19:19 2009 From: gslindstrom at gmail.com (gslindstrom at gmail.com) Date: Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:19:19 +0000 Subject: [PyAR2] Class Announcement Message-ID: <0016e6470daad84a9f04750cc139@google.com> I am please, nay *thrilled* to announce the Gordon Fisher has agreed to present a 3-hour class on the Blender product at pyArkansas. Blender is the free open source 3D content creation suite, available for all major operating systems under the GNU General Public License and allows you to make eye-popping presentations (check out www.blender.org). This is a wonderful development and we need to get word out to graphic art department (as well as anyone else interested). Taking Python 101 for Beginners in the morning and then Blender in the after noon would make for a great day, IHMO. This would also fit well with the Jython for Image Processing class. The folks in the Blender community were wondering if we could get Gordon's presentation recorder to place on the Web. I have no clue what is involved with that but would like someone to look into it because I think it would be a nice resource for their community. Any takers? Do you think anyone at UCA (or Hendrix) would want to take it on as a class project? Also, the registration page is up thanks to Nathan (I tweaked a couple of things, Nathan). Pop on over and sign up so we can shake out any bugs before we go "live". In particular, note that we are trying to get a handle on who wants to attend which classes. We are also collecting zip codes so we can plot them on a state map to show where people are coming from. The posters are almost done (one more correction). I plan to get 500 copies make and then then get request for funds out to Novasys and anyone else we can think of (I'll work with Chad Russel on this). Then, nearly 400 invitations will go out next week! Six weeks from today! --greg -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
