Cloud proposal
This document proposes a next step in Free/Open Content distribution by Blender Institute.Blender Cloud is a web based service developed and provided by Blender Institute that allows people to access the training videos and all the data from the past open movies. It will allow to browse assets and scripts, and might even offer file hosting, file sharing and project management tools in the future.The targets of this project are several:
- Help and support Blender development
- Explore new ways to distribute and market Open Content
- Share the advanced functionality for collaborative production that will be developed during the Gooseberry Open Movie project
Where closed software tools “move to the cloud” as a way to control their users and software even more, we can experiment and investigate open source cloud alternatives that brings real benefits to its users and developers.Blender Cloud is going to host and distribute only Open Content: as CC-by or CC0.
