wow incredible experience!
I do not know how many people had the room, but it was full and there were people sitting on the floor!
I had prepared a presentation avoiding blender extremism,
something that was accessible even to those not using blender
the choice has proven successful
I intend to prepare a document of what was said during the workshop
congratulations to the organizers!
I was invited to do a workshop at the View Conference 2009
