**VCStudio** is a **Free Software**. People mis-represent projects like this by calling them "Open Source". Open Source simply means that the source code is available. While **Free Software** means that the users have the 4 essential freedoms of software. **Freedom 0**: To use the software at any time for any purpose. **Freedom 1**: To study and change the source code. **Freedom 2:** To redistribute the software. **Freedom 3**: To distribute modified versions of the software. See [www.fsf.org](https://www.fsf.org/) for more information.
**We are developing and ecouraging VCStudio to run on only Free Operating System called GNU / Linux. System like Windows is not supported by default. And we do not condone any use of Windows. Or other non-free programs.**
- **Telegram**. 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.
- **Blender.Chat**. 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** .
- **DevTalk**. Also you can ask questions on [Devtalk.Blender.Org](https://devtalk.blender.org/t/blender-organizer-vcstudio-organization-of-the-projects).
- **LBRY**. For **support** , tutorials and general update information. You can use project's [LBRY channel](https://open.lbry.com/@blender-organizer:5?r=GLhXoQ3zcpvm6rzd9Z6dAyasTpmk1FUY)
**I don't guarantee that will answer**. I don't have any permanent access to the internet or any other form of communication. This computer that I'm using to type this sentense this very moment ( and to develop most of the VCStudio ) is not mine. And it could be taken from me at any moment. I don't own a cell-phone and don't want to own one. Tho even if I wanted. I don't have any resources to get one anyway. So you are on the mercy of the Gods in terms of communicating with me.
The old Blender Organizer project was using an outdated Python2 for the entire system.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.
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 (Victorious, Children, Studio).
VC stands for **Victorious Children**. VCStudio is an organizer tool for Victorious Children Studio. A little organization that makes movies and other content using [free software.](https://www.fsf.org/) Victorious Children's goal is to promote **#RespectChildren**. The idea that children should be treated equally to adults. In the older content of **VCS** you can find the name "Violence Children Studio" which is the old name of the organizanization.
[VCStudio](https://notabug.org/jyamihud/VCStudio) and [Blender-Organizer](https://github.com/JYamihud/blender-organizer) are [free-software](https://www.fsf.org/) packages for organizing animated project. Primarily to work with [Blender3D](https://www.blender.org/). It's written in [python](https://www.python.org/) and distributed as a set of scripts. So in theory with little work you can make it run on any OS. It's licensed with a [GNU](https://www.gnu.org/) [GPLv2](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#GPL) license. Primarily developer of the project (2018 - 2020) is J.Y.Amihud (also known as Blender Dumbass). Some projects done with this software may include [I'm Not Even Human](https://open.lbry.com/@VCS:7/Imnotevenhumanshortfilm:3?r=GLhXoQ3zcpvm6rzd9Z6dAyasTpmk1FUY), [The Package, The Car & The Time Is Running Out](https://open.lbry.com/@VCS:7/ThePackageTheCarAndTheTimeIsRunningOut:3?r=GLhXoQ3zcpvm6rzd9Z6dAyasTpmk1FUY) and [Moria's Race](https://t.me/moriasrace).
