In recent years there has been increased interest in systems with a free license. In the field of 3D design a powerful system with a free license is the Blender. With its small volume, not any serious high demands on hardware systems, combined with many advantages and innovations Blender 3D graphics system
is gaining more followers. This trend bodes fast nonlinear positive progression, which gives a reason the use of the system open source Blender in design practice to be considered appropriate and correct.

Is Android the New Embedded Linux? at AnDevCon IVOpersys inc.
The document discusses the rise of Android and how it relates to embedded Linux. It notes that Android was started by Andy Rubin after leaving Danger Inc. and was later acquired by Google. Android uses the Linux kernel but has a different set of licenses for its userspace components compared to embedded Linux. The document outlines key differences between traditional embedded Linux systems and Android, such as standardized development environments and published APIs in Android. It also discusses current trends in embedded systems and consumer electronics that have driven adoption of Android in these areas.

DEPORVIDA SPAIN CHESSBOXING
Cómic Dio Vida A Un Deporte Híbrido
Cuando de golpes y estrategia se trata nada mejor para ver que el chess boxing
By Jose Luis Perez Last updated Nov 2, 2020
https://www.deporvida.net/es/13706/comic-dio-vida-a-un-deporte-hibrido
Chess boxing is a hybrid sport that combines chess and boxing. Two competitors alternate playing four minutes of chess followed by two minutes of boxing over six rounds of chess and five rounds of boxing. The winner is determined by checkmate, knockout, or forfeiture due to running out of time. The sport was created by a Berlin artist as a bizarre concept and has grown to include international competitions governed by the World Chess Boxing Organization. While still niche, it has gained an audience interested in this unusual combination of mental and physical challenges.

Chess boxing is a sport that combines alternating rounds of chess and boxing, demanding both physical and mental excellence. The sport originated in the 1970s but was popularized and organized by Dutch athlete Iepe Rubingh in the early 2000s. In 2003, Berlin hosted the first official chess boxing competition and world championship, with Rubingh becoming the first world champion by defeating his opponent in the 11th round. The World Chess Boxing Organization was established to manage competitions and establish rules for the growing sport, with Berlin recognized as the birthplace of chess boxing.

ABSTRACT
● In recent years there has been increased interest in systems with a free license.
In the field of 3D design a powerful system with a free license is the Blender.
With its small volume, not any serious high demands on hardware systems,
combined with many advantages and innovations Blender 3D graphics system
is gaining more followers. This trend bodes fast nonlinear positive
progression, which gives a reason the use of the system open source Blender
in design practice to be considered appropriate and correct.
Keywords: Blender, design, free license

1. INTRODUCTION
● It is known that in the field of 3D graphics design there is a wide variety of software
products [4]. 3D software developers constantly try to implement new applications and
enhancements to the packages they offer [8]. The fact is that sometimes the prices of
some of the paid 3D graphics programs are inaccessible to some users. [4] Large data
capacity, high hardware requirements are also a factor in determining the appropriate
3D system. In recent years the requirements for the quality of the final product have
risen in regard to the software package capacity, the design approaches in the process
of computer design and especially the final versions of visualization of static and ani-
mated models [3]. Given these factors, choosing the appropriate 3D graphics system is
an important condition in the design project. This justifies the introduction of Blender
in design practice to be recommended. Free license, open source, convenient interface
multilateral aspects of design and lightweight platform by hardware requirements
makes Blender a modern technological tool preferred by many users [5, 9]. Reaching
these advantages is possible due to hard work and a long period of development of
Blender to producing professional 3D application available with its free license and
open source.

2. DEVELOPMENT OF BLENDER
● In 1988 the Dutch animation studio "NeoGeo" was co-founded by Ton Roosendaal
[7]. In the next few years "NeoGeo" became the largest 3D animation studio in the
Netherlands. For their own needs the company develops 3D tool which basis in the fu-
ture will be the rewritten Blender. In 1998 Ton founded a new company NaN (Not a
Number) with the aim to develop Blender, spread it commercially on the market, and
reach consumers. It is remarkable that at this time the main program was free with the
exception of several modules, which is considered as innovation, given that similar
software products were very expensive and unaffordable for certain users [1]. As a re-
sult of different adverse reasons in early 2002 NaN investors decided to suspend fur-
ther operations with the software product. In May 2002 Ton and Blender constructors
do not give up and create a nonprofit Blender Foundation in support of the large num-
ber of community enthusiasts and striving for the development of Blender continues
[2]. Because the application was owned by investors of NaN in July 2002 a joint deci-
sion has been made to redeem the code of the program. The requested amount of
€100,000 was collected in just two months and gained full ownership of members of
the movement Open Source [1, 2, 6]. On October 13, 2002 Blender is released under-
the GNU GPL.

The aim of the movement Blender
Foundation
● The aim of the movement Blender Foundation (a nonprofit public benefit corporation)
is:
- To give designers-users worldwide a full access to 3D technology which stands
Blender;
- To provide service to active users and developers of Blender;
- To maintain and improve the existing product Blender by commonly available
operating system with a source code licensed under the GNU GPL;
- To organize a system which supports voluntarily the running costs fund.
● In 2005 Project Orange Blender Foundation launches and the world's first Open Movie
"Elephants Dream" is created, using Blender as a main instrument and other open
source software. Next achievement is Project Peach (which created the movie "Big
Buck Bunny" – in April 2008). A little later, in September 2008, on the basis of the
film a free computer game ―Yo Frankie!― is released, and the project was called
Apricot. In 2010 a significant success is the completed Project Durian, releasing the
third Open Movie,”Sintel” [1].

3. INFORMATION, LICENSE, AND
STRUCTURE OF BLENDER
● In the last few years in parallel to the implementation of successful films and other projects,
the possibilities of the program Blender in the field 3D design significantly increased. This
serves as a pretext for many designers to focus on Blender. This serious choice is not only
because Blender is with a free license, but also because of the following advantages that are
given to users:
- Blender is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL, or ―free software‖,
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html; Fig. 2(a)). This license grants people a number of
freedoms (http://www.blender.org/about/license/; Fig.2(b)): free to use Blender, for any
purpose; free to distribute Blender; can study how Blender works and change it; can distribute
changed versions of Blender;

(official web site: http://www.blender.org/about/license/)
- If desired, it is possible to reprogram the software in a positive aspect and subsequently to
be spread to a new species;
- Blender is compatible with OS Windows, Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, and can be downloaded
free from the official website address http://www.blender.org/download/;
- Users receive responsiveness and maintenance, also can actively participate withcomments
and suggestions;
- The new versions come out relatively quickly, and added innovations can quickly be
integrated into the design practice;
- Programming language Phyton.

5. CONCLUSION
● The system Blender is a powerful technological tool assisting 3D designers. Providing
complete freedom of action by the developers of Blender to consumers is a priority -
officially and publicly regulated. Thus the stimulation of users - designers is strongly
emphasized. This allows users to develop their full potential, and in parallel, they themselves
become co-authors in the development of Blender, which outlines the perspective of future
fast interconnected prosperity between the open source system Blender and designers.
