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

I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
