Why is Project Gooseberry Important?

Let us hear it from Ton Roosendaal himself.

Here's why I think Project #Gooseberry matters. http://t.co/0RoHAzIq96

Following are my thoughts on why Project Gooseberry is important.

• Provide production specific education for anyone interested in learning the art of film making.
• Since you will have access to all the production files, you can learn to your hearts content.
• Provide aspiring programmers to learn how big software and information management systems are built in the industry.
• Blender is built of many subsystems and its Software Architecture is a good example to learn from.
• Have a sense of participation in rewriting history
• Blender Foundation made history when the community gathered 100000 euros to make Blender Open Source (I am proud to be part of it). Something like that happening again is a great opportunity for Blender and also to those who missed out 13 years ago.
• Make the world a better place.
