Hello OpenCASCADE community !
It's just a requirement to me to say something here.
I know CasCade about 5 years now. And I had many discussions with Sana Abou Haidar, Martine Langlois and some other guys of Matra about the application and the usability of CasCade. And I badly remember when I began to work with CasCade (V1.3): Damn, it took me a whole week, only to get it installed and running (on IRIX). With the next Versions everything improved a bit, but from my point of view insufficiently. Especially the whole documentation was horrible. Now, primarily since it became open source it improved a lot. Even the documentation is on top. Open CASCADE is now one year old and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the whole team and all people for their hard work, which made Open CASCADE to what it is now: 3.1 stable Version, the best version ever !!
Keep on going! I really appreciate your work.
I wish all members of the community a merry christmas and a peaceful new year.
With kind regards, sincerly
M. Gandyra

Thank you Michael. One of the reasons the Open Source CASCADE is better is because of all the positive feedback of the developer community. This project is a success and we are very proud of that but a lot is due to you guys out there.
Keep the Open Source spirit and let us look forward to a very exciting CASCADIAN new year!
Sana
