Hi all,

Here's the notes from today's meeting.

1) Blender 2.63 progress

- Reminder: release schedule & targets:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Projects

- Campbell reports on BMesh.

Better Python docs: 
http://www.blender.org/documentation/blender_python_api_2_62_2/bmesh.html  

Added documentation on updating Python scripts to new BMesh API: 
http://www.blender.org/documentation/blender_python_api_2_62_2/info_gotcha.html#ngons-and-tessellation-faces
  

Further, an 'inset' tool was added, and a lot of fixes and Python API 
improvements done.

- Bug reports still stream in! Just over 20 per day... we'll be busy!

- Proposal: do a beta testbuild this week, to get a decent test/reference build 
for reporters.

- Thomas Dinges mentions that Blender svn isn't very stable now. Putting 
everyone's focus on fixing bugs is much needed! Meeting agrees on bugfix-only 
for now, and will review next week whether test/fixing period will be extended.

2) Other projects

- Daniel Genrich is working on smoke simulation; to allow moving objects to 
move smoke around. He had to do quite some bugfixing along the way, so it'll 
take longer than expected.

- Campbell points everyone at the coding style, for which now a wide consensus 
exists. Please try to follow this!

3) Google Summer of Code

- Tomorrow student application starts! Mentors can also still apply now.

- The main Blender page on the GSoC site:
  http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2012/blender

- Question: do we get a poster for advertisement? Gottfried Hoffman will make 
one with fluid simulation image, to put on walls in University of Erlangen 
(Where Nils Thuerey graduated). It would be wonderful if we can get Erlangen to 
adopt Elbeem for student projects in general.

Thanks,

-Ton-
