Here's the notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.

1) Blender 2.68a release review

• The 'a' release went out last week. It's been a bumpy release cycle again... several people in meeting expressed to try to organize this better. At least to do is:

- Better auto test
- Upgrade regression files
- Really be more strict in bcon4 period (code reviews, tests per commit)

2) 2.69 planning and targets

• There's a list with possible targets in wiki.
• For next week, Ton Roosendaal will update the page with planning proposal.
• Suggested for release: limit adding features and find ways to get everyone finishing up stuff and fixing.
• Ton has to refresh module teams in wiki still. Remember, module ownership = responsible for bug fixing in the module!

3) Google Summer of Code

• Midterm evaluation starts monday, deadline is friday.
• Alexander Pinzon Fernandez posted another update video on Laplacian Surface editing:

4) Other projects

• Bastien Montagne wrote a proposal for upgrading our text drawing/handling, to get it fully suitable for any language.

Review on above continued after meeting. At least agreed on was to first fix the issues that can work with current code (especially for left-to-right characters).
