Blender Conference 2020

I don't see a schedule, just a landing page for a conference taking place in three days. Could be fun to check out, but I'm a complete newbie. I have no idea (or apparently way of knowing) if there will be any sessions of interest to me.

This year is a bit unusual and secretive to provide a bit of a surprise. The past conferences had a proper schedule, see e.g. the one from last year[0].

Thank you for the link. It seems like there were a few sessions there that could have been interesting to me. I'll keep an eye out this year as well.

You can watch (almost) all past talks of previous conferences on Blender's YouTube channel [0].

There's also the Blender Peertube instance, in case you care about it: https://video.blender.org/

This is a great feature addition[1].

I've not tried to use blender for a while, but I love applications that give you a command palette, especially when they get proper fuzzy and prefix matching like this. Like the dude in the video says, it must be a godsend for non-native english speakers with something as complex as blender.

Very cool link. Truly depressing that every video only has 30 views!

Only one way to add more!

Well, disregarding (h/c)racking the server or some other abuse I suppose.

Edit: Honestly, I think it's more important that it exists than that it gets heavy use. As it is now, it allows Blender to A) Have a better platform to link people to, and B) Have a fallback if Youtube starts causing problems.

I honestly think A is more important.

I will become a user! I think I've been waiting for this for a while.
