The old Blender Organizer project was using an outdated Python2 for the entire system.
It became such a hard thing to make work on a new system. Since Python2 is not longer supported by most destributions. And so the decision was made in 2020 to move to Python3. The problem was that the gtk module of python2 is similar but not the same as Gtk3 that comes with python3. And so a complite rewrite of the blender organizer is nessesary.
The Blender Organizer also had some questionable desing elements that made it hard to implement new feratures and settings without clusterring the project folder. And also it had a wierd way of handinling multiple projects.
## Blender Organizer still lives.
I think for most people who are Using the Blender Organizer. To switch to an untested new project would be a terrible thing. This is why I'm not using the Blender Organizer repository for the rewrite, but instead choosing to create this new one. Which gonna go away from being named after Blender but more after the little studio title we have for our animation project. VCS (Violence, Children, Studio).
With Blender-Organizer there was a [Telegram Group](https://t.me/blenderorganizer) that still lives. But I'm not active on it for a while. And I don't know how much time will I be without Telegram. That doesn't mean tho that you can't communicate with me if needed.
[Jami](https://jami.net/) is a good startup messanger which is a part of the GNU project. Which does not require having an access to a SIM card. There you can find me by the user name **blenderdumbass**. Or in case there will be many Blender Dumbasses when you get there. My personal ID on Jami is `42c5c71a71f97ca03c047826985adadac2e26726`.
Tho Jami has one very big problem for now. Since it's a new project. It has no groups yet. But just rescently I discovered another good open project. By our beloved [Blender](https://www.blender.org/). Which is [Blender.Chat](https://blender.chat/home). On which the hash for the group is **#blenderorganizer_vcstudio** .
Also you can ask questions on [Devtalk.Blender.Org](https://devtalk.blender.org/t/blender-organizer-vcstudio-organization-of-the-projects).
