Apertus Newsletter - Timelapse Footage and Apertus is flattr'ed

[Sebastian]

Happy new Year from the Apertus team!

When starting to write this newsletter post I reviewed how well we
kept our promises to send regular progress updates to this newsletter
list and I must say I am flattered. August, September, October,
November, December and now January, I can't believe we got the timing
so well we didn't even set any alarm clocks and had not written any
big TODO notes on our desks :) ... anyway.

There is new time-lapse sample footage shot with Apertus available
here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVX2LGuKdL8
To prove that we can collect frames very slowly after posting high
speed footage in December ;-)
This link is not yet posted on the Apertus website (only our loyal
followers on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Apertus-Open-Source-Cinema/164090853620504
have seen it already)

Since the Paypal fiasco (http://www.google.com/search?
ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=paypal+wikileaks) some
time ago we were looking for an alternative for accepting donations:
Flattr.com has the subtitle "social micro-payments". You sign up and
decide how much money you want to spend on micro-payments (minimum is
2€) each month. Then you click on the "Flattr" button on projects that
you like and want to support: film projects, music, art, photography,
written text, etc.. At the end of the month your money is split up
between all the projects that you "liked".
Here is the Apertus project on flattr:
