This year SFD 2009 is another history in the making. 3D Blender was formally introduced to students by the core member team of Pinoy Blender User Group. A demo was conducted and students were excited to discover what they can do using Blender. A Blender is a 3D graphics application released as free software under the GNU General Public License. An addition to the list of Open Source Software joining the yearly celebration of Software Freedom Day.

Last 4 years ago 2nd Software Freedom Day was held in Polytechnic University of the Philippines. I was also there to support the birth of Joomla! CMS. Back then opensource is never been so colorful, unlike today there are a lot of famous variaties of opensource application such as Content Management System, Graphic Software, LAMP easy setup, famous IDE & etc. On one part of my session during afternoon session of Dynamic/ Static CMS (Joomla!), I say to all students & professionals “You should be proud that you are here today. Opensource is more colorful than ever, more knowledge & oportunity for everyone”

See you in the next more event to come…

Last Feb 5, 2008 I order “Essential Blender ” book from blender e-shop, and by Feb 28, 2008 I finally got my copy. The waiting is over after 3 weeks. So far so good its worth buying. Upon checking and skipping several pages its really awesome master piece. It would introduce you to a wide range of possibility on 3D blender. By the next coming month, I’LL buy more books.
