Hi gang! I think everyone in BeOS land should know that the Blender fund has now reached it's target goal of $100,000 and is set to officially open source it.

Here are the details of their press release and more information:

The Open Blender project has met their target, collecting sufficient money to pay for releasing the Blender sources!

On Oct. 1st the needed contracts will be signed with NaN, and payment done.

There will be a pre-release of Open Blender Oct. 5th for members. Then Oct 11-12-13th, there will be a Blender Conference in Amsterdam, Holland (Technix: are you going to that? . On the last day of the conference, the CVS server will be plugged into the Internet, and the new home of Blender will see the light (Blender dot org).

The Open Blender Project still need your support, also to allow the Foundation a headstart. But nothing can stop it anymore...
