Dear XSI Berlin Users:
I just deleted the mailinglist and the content of the xsi-berlin.org homepage.
I am no longer available to organize or promote any events regarding XSI.
Feel free to take over and create your own meetings.
I am very sorry since I had a lot of fun with some of you guys, but I am finally pissed off enough with Softimage to let it go.
Carpe Diem,
Thomas Helzle
