I want to clarify that ASWF is not specific to VFX per se. But it is specific to the film industry. I was sloppy by saying "VFX" so emphatically. It (including 3D feature animation) is the part of the

While the initial projects are all VFX centric, I don't believe limiting to just the VFX industry is intended.

Sorry, my notice on the TAC meeting should have said Wednesday August 22. (I had mistakenly referenced the 23rd) --- Mike Dolan VP of Strategic Programs The Linux Foundation mdolan@... ---

Thanks for all the clarifications. That makes sense with the way you are describing it. It would probably be a good idea to eventually update the marketing website aswf.io to do a better job

Thanks Larry - you covered it very well. I'd like to add just one clarification around what stage this project is at in this point in the journey and what the initial next steps look like as things

Larry have you some thoughts on how we are going handle measure project resources? I think I still have some confusion on what is actionable for the next year or so? Is our goal for the next year or

That last question is probably the most pertinent, and would have the most interesting and useful answers from project to project, IMO. The other questions in that list can sometimes be hard to

Thanks Rob! Have you looked at gitlab's CI service? Curious what your thoughts are on it, and how the AWSF CI service would compare. Bryce

ASWF Community: Thanks for your continued interest in supporting our community. The ASWF BoF at SIGGRAPH was a big success with more than 150 people in attendance and standing room only! For those who

I definitely think that is a good idea, I imagine there is a ton we can learn from those projects.

I've attached the slides here as presented in the BOF as a PDF. Enjoy, Rob

Hi, are the slides or video of the presentation available by chance? (Sorry for jumping in on the thread, I only learned of this group yesterday.) Bryce

Seems like a good idea to me. They are there so might as well use them.

Hi there! After attending the BoF presentation at SIGGRAPH, it seems like a lead starting point for project inclusion is mostly on the library side of things (as opposed to the application side). That

Not likely. NaN (the company that was commercializing Blender had to go bankrupt first. The community stepped up and raised funds to free it from the holding company that controlled the IP after that
