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

1) Blender 2.76 targets
- To prevent more conflicts (other people work on mesh drawing too), Sergey Sharybin proposes to merge OpenSubdiv tomorrow in trunk, as build option for now.
- Bastien Montagne will have two weeks holidays, that means that he prefers to move his Filebrowser work to a next release.
- Kevin Dietrich will make his OpenVDB patch ready for final review this week.
- Sergey: several Gooseberry's Cycles features have been merged now.
- Bugs! The tracker went up a lot. Everyone is invited to help you know... also new developers should feel welcome to become involved by fixing or reviewing bugs. Really good practice this.
- Release planning says we're close to BCon4... suggestion is to extend the term for 2.76, the Siggraph release date is not important enough (we can show a recent build there too).
2) Other projects
- Gooseberry: here's Lukas Toenne's doc (in progress) of work he did on sims and hair.
- Testers needed for OS X El Capitan (10.11). OpenCL Cycles should work with similar feature set as with CUDA.

Did I just read the words "OpenSubDiv" and "Trunk" in the same sentence?
Ready for mass testing in 2.76!
opensubd YES!
Just curious, what happened ti surprise project sergey was working on? was it opensubdiv? And are there any plans on rendering openvdb on GPU, as there are no news on fire\smoke GPU rendering?
