The Blender Foundation (http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/blender-foundation/2007-plans/) has announced 'Peach (http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/blender-foundation/2007-plans/peach-open-movie/)' a second open movie project, their first open movie project was 'Project Orange' that resulted in Elephants Dream (http://www.elephantsdream.org/). Peach is planned to be a funny movie in contrast to the dark and surreal nature of Elephants Dream. A second exciting announcement is that in cooperation with Crystal Space (http://www.crystalspace3d.org) and NLGD Conference (http://www.nlgd.nl/site/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=41&lang=en) ( the "Nederlandse Game Dagen" the annual conference for the Netherlands game industry) an open game (Project Apricot (http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/blender-foundation/2007-plans/apricot-open-game/)) will be developed. Lastly the Blender Foundation announced the establishment of the Blender Institute (http://www.blender.org/blenderorg/blender-foundation/2007-plans/blender-institute/) that will be a studio dedicated to hosting these and future projects. Also the Blender Foundation has put out a new manual 'Essential Blender (http://www.blender3d.org/e-shop/product_info.php?products_id=96)' to make it easier to learn Blender.

as with the first open movie, some of the key people are picked already, but there are also open positions that will be filled from people submitting their resumes/portfolios, see the link to peach for details that are currently available.
