IShort notes of today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders

1) Release targets for 2.77

  • Added as options: OpenSubdiv library update, and Python (3.5) library update.
  • As agreed on, we only define final targets later, earliest next month.

2) The 2.8 project, or other projects

  • Lukas Toenne is exploring a different implementation for texture nodes. Code is here. Videos:

  • Ton Roosendaal is too busy to help coordinating 2.8 preparations this month, but he does work on subsidy application for 2.8 coding work in 2016.
  • Many coders like to see a 2.8 branch already. Agreed is to wait with that until we agree on what we do there :)
  • But – we can start gathering design docs and todo lists in wiki. Julian Eisel accepted to moderate the section. If you want to add pages there, connect with him.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). 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.
