Hi all,

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

1) Targets for 2.77

  • The current list (no changes).
  • Kevin Dietrich proposes to move his OpenVDB cache work to ‘master’. It would only be for using OpenVDB caching, not rendering. Next week we hear more.
  • Thomas Beck will have a patch ready this week for White Balance in Sequencer. Antonis Riakiotakis is available for review.
  • CMake MingW now works (using gcc to build in MS Windows). But, OpenSubdiv and OpenShadingLanguage are fully missing here.
  • Call for help – we need a new MingW maintainer!

2) Other projects

  • OpenGL upgrade project moves forward. We welcome a new developer who helps out: Alexander Romanov from the Blend4Web team!
  • Julian Eisel: please help reviewing the Custom Manipulator project.
  • Everyone congratulates Sergey Sharybin with having his Kandidat Nauk granted – which is equivalent to a Phd Doctorate!

Laters,

-Ton-

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.
