=== Blender Network update ===

The Blender Network now will finally happen! After more than a year of brainstorms and trials, Bart Veldhuizen (BlenderNation) has accepted to build and manage the networking website.

[http://www.blender.org/news/article/blender-network-launches-august-6th/ Full announcement on blender.org]

</div>

Here's notes I gathered from previous discussions on the Blender Network - which was a concept introduced and reviewed at Blender Conference 2010 in Amsterdam.

=== URL: www.blendernetwork.org ===
* Maybe network.blender.org

=== Main target:===
* Provide an online facility for professionals to help them conducting business with Blender.
* Specifically it should enable technical support, servicing, integration, pipeline consultancy and training business to emerge.

=== Facility details ===
* An Open Business network, like the yellow-pages for Blender professionals. All information is open to view for everyone, also without logins.
* Network members get a page on the website and private access to edit and update it
* Member profile: for categories or expertise, searchable (vfx, training, development, consultant, etc)
* Simple social networking structure like linkedin; to build connections with other members.
* Message board (twitter style?) to advertise stuff or call for actions
* Good searching options, worldmap
* A Network moderator is available for members to consult.
* A news/blog frontpage? We could invite 'case study' articles there by members. Only practical reports on actual inter-network cooperative projects. No advertisement stuff like "I made a commercial for IBM". The latter would belong on private page only.

===Social networking===
* Send an invitation and tag it like
** "Business contact" (worked with under contract)
** "Collegue" (cooperated with)
** "Friend" (know member well, recommendation)
*Only accepted invites are shown on the network. (How to manage tags when A asks for "Bizz contact" and B only wants to be "Friend"?)

===Members:===
Three membership options can be picked:
* Academic (free)
* Freelance (50 euro/year)
* Corporate (250 euro/year)

Freelance and Corporate members can be developers, consultants, trainers, writers, animators, vfx specialists, and so on. The basic definition of "professional" is: someone conducting contracting work.

===Authentication (general):===
* Webpage/form for application on the website
* Network moderator handles applications, and performs a series of authentication steps.
* After a succesful authentication, last step is (optional) fee payment, and membership becomes active

===Authentication, Academic members:===
* Only faculties and official university/college employed people can apply (not students)
* Scanned pdf or printed official letterhead confirmation which autorizes BN to advertise membership
* University (associated) website page describing Blender involvement and contact info
* Email exchange in English only. Member should be able to express themselves in English well.

===Authentication, Freelance members:===
* Certified trainers get this membership automatically. (If they want corporate membership they need to apply)
* Evidence of address (utility bill), passport/IDcard, bank account or paypal
* Website url with actual contact info (not anonymous, nick names, etc) and clear notification of Blender and realized Blender projects
* Email exchange in English only. Member should be able to express themselves in English well.

===Authentication, Corporate members:===
* Evidence of business address (utility bill), passport/IDcard applicant, bank account or paypal
* Chamber of Commerce subscription (not more than 2 years old)
* Own company website url with actual contact info (no facebook, blogspot, nick names, etc) and clear notification of Blender and realized Blender projects
* Email exchange in English only. Member should be able to express themselves in English well.
* Phone number, which will be tested. English speaking is a prerequisite.

=== Facility back-end===
* Network moderator should be able to invoice members when membership expires
* Internal low-traffic mailing list for members-only, to discuss facilities (not bizz!)
* secure backend for providing/uploading privacy data

===Network moderator duties===
* Handle membership requests
* Assist on managing member pages, moderate pages for appropriate content (similar to b.org)
* Moderate message board if needed
* Be available for consultancy by members
* Handle abuse complaints or re-authenticate members

===Blender Network internal business model===
* Membership fees should cover up for building/maintaining web site, moderator hours
* Network profits go to actions that support member business; like discounts for Blender Conference, Siggraph/FMX/etc booth participation.

===Blender Network implementation & planning ===
* BF has asked Lumikuu (www.lumikuu.com, Finland) to help setting up the facility
* Feedback period: until 2nd week June 2011
* Nathan Letwory from Lumikuu then will perform Moderator duties for the start-up phase (3-6 months)
* During that period a permanent position is open and should get appointed.

== Feedback ==
