Hi all, Here are the notes for today's 1500 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
1) Blender 2.78c release - There were build problems causing more delays, final tests and checks happen now. Tomorrow the binaries should be available. - Change log for 'c': https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.78/Performance_update2 2) Targets for Blender 2.79 - We move to BCon2 (targets final) this week. The target list: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.7 - We still need to solve how to add the 'Filmic Blender' configure file in a way it's compatible. Maybe via User Preferences? Need someone to pick up this task to solve. - New target: Datablock ID Properties. https://developer.blender.org/D113 - Mai Lavelle's Cycles split kernel work is almost there. There are some regressions for nvidia OpenCL. Sergey Sharybin reviews and checks this before a merge happens. - OpenHMD is almost ready. Julian Eisel and Joey Ferwerda will finish working on it in Amsterdam next week. - The new 'Surface Deform' modifier can be added. Go for it Luca Rood! - Bezier Tools GSoC patch, urgent call for reviewers. - And, call for coders of patches for OpenVDB render (Kevin) and Action Tools (Joshua) to speak up if their work is ready! 3) Blender 2.8 projects - Discussion about custom properties code: let's not all implement own but stick to one system in Blender? Dalai Felinto and Bastien Montagne will contact about it. Also UPBGE seems to use own property system. - There is Development Fund budget to support a 2.8 GE project as well. There's still time enough to talk about this. - This proposal for 2.8 GE work by Mitchell Stokes is still valid: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iL4-VRTTrI01TQkFl6VO2IYjM70g5DOtCq86YbfVHsU/ - Further not much news, aside for Campbell Barton coming back to help us with it! 4) Other topics - Tomorrow Google will announce which .orgs will be participating this year. - Blendercoders IRC meeting had a record of 215 people attending! Luckily, most were lurking!
