    To wrap up my week with IMakeFOSS I can't not talk about Blender.

    Being a 3D artist, and specifically a Blender-native, has been a large of my identity for over half of my life. I think makes a great case study.

    @bkhan @imakefoss I use Linux 'cause unfortunately the BSDs didn't really take off as well* as Linux did and , and are not really viable options anymore.

    * Insert long discussion about the FreeBSD layer on top of the Mach kernel that is (apple not Cisco) IOS here.

    Educators/institutions can their own instance of and provide access to learning experiences to a larger number of people. Access to quality learning resources can be an enabler and often a life-changer for many.

    We teach digital litracy in schools but not digital security or ethical computing.

    What's one computer lesson you would want taught to kids?

    Do you have a strategy that you've found works towards building community around your project?

    It's overwhelming how much Blender can do but it's not because Blender has made this all this functionality, they just opened the doors to the sandbox.

    Blender's community activitation goes beyond just creating the Open Movies. There are weekly livestreams about interesting commits with @PabloVazquez_, the Blender Studio outputs training and BTS content, there's significant developer presence on Twitter...

    Check out Bforartists, a fork of Blender which fundamentally overhauls the UI/UX allowing for a visual-first workflow paradigm.

    I'm using the term 'community' vaguely on purpose. It could be a full fledged developer community all the way down to people for whom the project is just in their awareness.

    To sell, people need to see that you're selling.

    It's a great time to be an artist because all you developers keep pushing out huge updates.

    On Tuesday I talked a bunch about the new 5 but in 2020, 2.0 and 1.0 were released and it looks like GIMP 3 is on the horizon as well.

    Your communities are your best ambassadors. Take advantage of that.

    Community Discord servers, Instagram tags, retweets, community conversations etc.

    If you want to get bug reports from your community, make it as easy as possible for non-technical users.

    Maybe reference @Blender 's bug tracker. A button in the Help menu takes you straight to the tracker form with clear instructions of what's wanted.

    Developers,
    Talk to people who are creating tutorials. We want to provide the best and most salient information but we can get it wrong or miss something.

    Let us know. We spend hours making videos because we love your work and want to share that.

    No user will read your documentation cover to cover so make sure that each page can be read in isolation. If prior knowledge is required, please provide links to that.

    When your community wants to try experimental features they can branch, or even create entire forks.

    This ecosystem of software can then become symbiotic, passing code back to your master.

    This is one of the inspiring beauties of

    More important than the potential of income, a community brings the potential of innovation.

    If your project answers a question (and you publicise) people will buy it. If you have a community of users and developers, your project will expand and build worth.

    Up to a certain point, projects are built on inertia. The excitement from the core developers needs to be transferred to a community to foster a group of contributors, testers, and advocates.

    Are you taking advantage of social media in your strategy?

    One key benefit of projects, and one that I think gets skipped over by a lot of smaller projects, is community.

    95% of my digital painting (and therefore my ability to draw and my career path) can be attributed to 3 projects:
    1) @GIMP_Official
    2) @MyPaintApp
    3) @Krita_Painting

    I've tested many distros and dozens of desktop environments over the years and the ones that really stood out were Unity, @elementary OS, Pop!_OS from @system76 and more recently I've fallen in love with Gnome-flavoured @ManjaroLinux.

    My journey started when a friend introduced me to with its centralised Software Centre and themes galore. It wasn’t until the Unity DE of 11.04 that I made the switch permanent.

    Do you remember your first distro? What won you over?

    While my own output is very single-mindedly focused on Blender, it takes a lot of tools for me to carry that work out. I'm excited to shine a light on those projects that are so invaluable!

    If you're in the Blender space then my work might have come across your feeds. I have a bit of a reputation for taking things too far with nodes...
