        the interest of full disclosure - is starting to offer
        introductory classes on open source multimedia software as a
        supplement to their usual classes using Adobe Photoshop and
        other proprietary software.</p>

        "crash course" on 3D animation basics using Blender: <a

        willing to give a presentation on some of what she goes over in
        the class. Is this something we'd be interested?</p>

        -qt-user-state:0;">It would be ideal to have a GUM before the
        class actually begins, but since this semester's Blender crash
        course takes place over the next few weeks, that's not going to
        happen. However, they'll be teaching the class again next
        semester, and if there's enough interest, similar classes may be
        offered with GIMP et al.</p>
