Question: How should I name my blend file?

Question: Where should I go to participate?

Answer: Log on to IRC on the Freenode server in the channel #blenderdurian

Question: Where do I get the Asset list?

Answer: Right here: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Org:Institute/Open_projects/Durian/Sprint/Assetlist

Question: Should I modify the list myself?

Answer: Yes you can. Please keep it clean. Just add your name next to the model if your actually doing it. And when you're finished, you can, if you want, add the link to your model on Blenderswap underneath the model.

Question: So Durian is under a creative commons license, right? Does that mean my models have to be CC?

Answer: Yes, indeed! By participating in this sprint the models you contribute (uploading through BlendSwap.com) will be licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution "By" 3.0 License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ unless you stipulate otherwise. If you have specific licensing information to share, please put this information in an open text window in your .blend file.

Question: I want to use some textures that I didn't create myself, but they're in the public domain. Is that okay?

Answer: If you incorporate any external textures or other data into your work, make sure they are under a compatible license (CC BY, under the public domain, or CC0) and attribute the original source in your submission. Please put this information in an open text window in your .blend file.

Question: Who is Ecks?

Question: Will the sprint keep going after saturday?

Answer: More info on this will come later. Thanks you for being interested in helping.

Question: Why not give us more complete scene to work on??

Answer: The project needs very specific set up for the different scene, and it would be too much work for us to explain through a text-based chat how to do everything we exactly want.

Question: Can we use texture from google?

Answer: No. You can only use texture your painted on your own, or photo that you took yourself. We are releasing all the material as open content when the movie is done, so it is of utmost importance that you don't use commercial material (or google images).
