Announcements

Daniel Bystedt is a new member of the Modeling team (welcome!)
He will help with design and give feedback on developments.
2.90 potential showstoppers collected in T80396 .
- These are candidates for 2.90.1 “corrective release” (formerly known as 2.90a)
There is a new Incidents column in the 2.90 dashboard to collect issues raised during the release/2.90 process.
- e.g., Release notes moving around
- e.g., Release date postponed
- The idea is to have a asynchronous postmortem on points that didn’t go smooth and try to identify the reasons and keep some paper trail for 2.91
Jacques Lucke is in Amsterdam for the 2 weeks particles workshop.
- The notes are updated throughout the days.

Tuesday Team Talks

There was an initial round of Tuesday Talks last week.
Tomorrow we do it again - placeholder notes . (same time, same link).
We can streamline the format (please send feedback). So far it seems to be beneficial to have these moments to check with the modules.

Google Summer of Code ended today and the official results will be announced tomorrow (September 8).
The projects went well, congratulations for the mentors and students.
Students are still encouraged and welcome to be involved with Blender development.
