Hi all,

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

1) Todos and planning for 2.77

  • The updated planning and targets for the next release.
  • Meeting agrees on moving to BCon3 next meeting (27th). That means patches should then
    be applied in master.
  • Kevin Dietrich: the OpenVDB caching patch was reviewed and accepted by Brecht, unless someone
    has any objections, I can apply it in master this week.
  • Bastien Montagne: merged all ID linking fixes he dared!
  • Bug tracker has 157 open issues. A lot of work to handle all the open issues.
  • Python3.5 update is done… so unless guys report bugs we assume its all working 100%
  • Alexander Romanov will work this week on getting his patches approved and applied. Specifically: GLSL vector transform node and World texture display in viewport

2) Other projects

  • Campbell Barton’s boolean code is WIP, will not replace Carve modifiers yet (for 2.77).
  • Lukas Toenne: working on compiler stuff for object_nodes. Complex stuff, not attractive to show.
  • Ton: work on 2.8 could get accelerated a bit. Especially to collect feasible proposals and designs.
    Based on that we then can decide on how to handle funding (dev fund, crowd, etc)
  • Sergey Sharybin moves to Amsterdam, will work full time for Blender Institute now.
