In Memoriam: Ian Murdock Sad news: Ian Murdock
has passed away. " Ian was perhaps best known professionally as
the founder of the Debian project, which he created while still a student
at Purdue University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in computer
science in 1996. Debian was one of the first Linux distros to be forged,
and it is widely regarded as a one of the most successful open-source
projects ever launched. Ian helped pioneer the notion of a truly open
project and community, embracing open design and open contribution; in fact
the formative document of the open source movement itself (the Open Source
Definition) was originally a Debian position statement." | | 7:58p |
Glass Half: The latest open movie from the Blender Institute (Opensource.com) Opensource.com introducesthe latest open movie from the Blender Institute, Glass Half. " Like all of the other open movie projects released by the Blender Institute, Glass Half has been released under a Creative Commons Attribution license, along with all of the assets (3D models, textures, animations, etc.) used to create the short. However, there are some key differences between this animated short and the Blender Institute's larger projects like Cosmos Laundromat. For one, the production time for this piece was much shorter. Although there were some concepts and storyboards being put together by the team as Cosmos Laundromat's year-long production was wrapping up, the actual production time for Glass Half was just around seven weeks." |
