The next two months are about getting money and gather resources. The next one will hopefully be about a big consultation. (And the next one for hardcore coding ?)

By consultation I mean some of you may have found it weird that I am waiting for so long to exchange with Blender Foundation about the actual heavy stuff. Not to mention this was definitely the missing ingredient to be part of GSOC. However from my point of view, the balance is shifted by some weights you probably don’t see : When you are engaging a significant part of your life into a project, there is a sincere risk of abandon or worse, regret.

I want to have a minimum level of grantee of liking my everyday life once I am embarked. And you may ask “but didn’t the project started like 2 years ago? How where you doing then ?”, and actually lets clarify what happened.

The first (small) year was an appreciated coincidence where I had time because I had only a third of my schedule taken by school, because I had to validate some more course I because my semester abroad wasn’t that successful… to say shortly. 

The second (large) year was about finding a job in a quite low period for French industry. And it was very uncomfortable because I was procrastinating by doing SP, almost using the low period as an excuse to not find a job and continue my project. And at the same time, to defend myself, the offers were really not exciting, my expanses where very low, and I had some freelance work, so I kind of just kept going. But this was stressful and couldn’t stay like that. Also I was most of the time alone, which didn’t help at all.

So, I am currently trying to turn the situation into something I actually benefit from. I found a business incubator specialized in 3D I can hopefully join, so it could really provide the social framework. Honestly the rest is mainly about funding. This will depend on me, this will depend on you, your generosity, external factors, but it looks possible… I guess… So let’s try that this year… At least half a year 😅

Already, I cannot thank enough everyone who made it to a donation, considering how unwelcoming SP can be at this state. 

And for everyone else, stay tuned, there might be something epic coming, which may take you the other group 🙈
