The open source animation pipeline OpenPipeline has been added to openSourceVFX.org. The site is an amazing collection of production-proven tools for visual effects and animation that have been made open source. The site has three goals:
1. Present the best open-source projects.
2. Provide an up-to-date directory with relevant links.
3. Aggregate news for those projects.
Opensourcevfx.org is headed up by folks from Sony Imageworks (who have made recent strides to release some internal tools open source) and we thank Rob Bredow and Philippe Leprince for connecting us to the site. Kickstand is a strong supporter of making tools open source whenever possible. The lessons learned through these tools help to raise the quality of work in the industry and can benefit everyone from students to studios. We have a number of tools, scripts, and code snippets coming up that we plan to be releasing open source to contribute to the conversation of animation and vfx development.

Congrats Guys, I am glad they added it, I forgot until seeing this that I had emailed them right after it was launched to include OpenPipeline in the list.
I like the new site here also.
