Hi all,

Here are the notes from today's 14:00 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.

1) Blender 2.78 release

• Release notes in progress.
• Three regressions should be fixed before a release.
• Meeting agrees on doing a status check om Wednesday, then either call for the
  first Release Candidate, or wait a week.

2) Other projects and Blender 2.8

• Blender Institute is still talking with potential candidates for a full time job
  on 2.8 work (in Amsterdam). No news.
• Mike Erwin is planning to be in Amsterdam 2nd half of September. Ton Roosendaal checks on organising a 'sprint' or workshop to freeze the specs for Viewport.

3) Google Summer of Code

• All mentors and students have delivered their final reports. Overview here.
• Tomorrow Google will inform students whether they've passed the final term!
• Thomas Dinges volunteers to write a code.blender.org blog GSoC summary for all students.

Thanks,

-Ton-
