[Margarita Dorovska]

Last call for applications for training on open source multimedia 
instruments
6-12 August 2007

online subscription at http://tosmi.org

deadline: 30 June

organized by InterSpace Association, Sofia

The project aims at making series of trainings on Free and Open Source 
Software <http://www.fsf.org/licensing/essays/free-sw.html> multimedia 
tools that are not so well known, but can be used efficiently by 
professionals from the audiovisual production sector. Although in the 
last few years there have been many efforts and success stories about 
making open source software more popular for the end-users, 
professionals in certain areas still doubt the availability of 
good-quality, free of charge products to face their specific needs. This 
project is intended to reverse this tendency.

The target group of the project are young professionals working in the 
fields of 3D CGI, post-production, video editing, animation, advertising 
and special effects. Participation of professionals from the project’s 
partner countries, as well as women professionals is particularly 
encouraged.

The trainings cover:

    * *Blender for professionals*. Blender is the open source software
      for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production,
      interactive creation and playback;
    * *Cinelerra for professionals*. Cinelerra is a non-linear
      video/aidio editor.
    * Usage of free and open source software for recording and editing
      sound under GNU/Linux and other operating systems;
    * Usage of version-control and groupware tools for optimization of
      the production process;
    * Hardware and software optimization and rendering farm building
      workshop.
