If you work in the AEC industry, please support IFC development. The industry is stuck with proprietary tools developed by monopolies, and needs more #opensource and international standards.

Winter break highlights: MuseScore 3.0 release, Blender turns 25 years old and Google joins the Blender Development Fund, lots of improvements in @FreeCAD, @GIMP, and Olive, better HDR support in @krita.

Just compiled IfcPlusPlus on #gentoo #linux! This is an #opensource IFC BIM viewer. Nice!

The architecture / engineering / construction industry is far behind in terms of FOSS and open standards, so this really needs to be more of a thing.
