[NTLUG:Discuss] Linux For Fun

[Walter Johnston]

The video editing sounds good.  I use a lot of video in my
teaching.  Currently have support from UTD for Camtasia but
would love to have other options.

The 3d modeling would also be a good draw.

How about creating videos with transitions and effects using 
OpenShot Video Editor?  (I use this tool several times a year. 
And if I can 
find a meeting date/time when I'm available to present, I'd be
glad to give a 
presentation about it.)

I'd also be interested in 3D modeling software for Linux (e.g.,
for 3D printing).
