Ton shares the notes of the developers meeting in irc.freenode.net, #blendercoders.

Hi all,

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

1) Planning for upcoming 2.75 release

  • Meeting agrees on extending the planning with another week of "BCon2", we need time to get the main targets in git master still. Specifically: Dependency Graph, OpenCL Kernel split and OpenSubdiv.
  • OpenCL code is very local, so we can always add it as 'experimental' feature (for whitelisted AMD GPUs with known good drivers).
  • Updated the planning.
  • Cycles Portal patch from Lukas Stockner still needs final review and blessing from Sergey Sharybin. He will check within a week.

2) Other projects

  • Sergey Reich has time the next few months for Bullet and rigid body work.
  • Gooseberry project: Sergey, Bastien and Campbell were asked to help checking on the Alembic hair caching and rendering pipeline – to give Lukas Toenne more time to work on simulation code itself.

Thanks,

-Ton-
