Hi all, Here's a summary of today's topics:
1) Blender 2.59 status - Release reports are all good, no showstoppers really, so not an 'a' release needed (yet?) - OpenCollada compile fails on Linux Fedora. 2) Blender 2.60 planing - Release cycle proposal approved. Thomas updates the doc. http://www.blender.org/bf/blencon.jpg (summary) (Martin Poirier amendment will be added "first week of BCon1, only module-owner approved fixes") - FFmpeg 0.8 migration will start. - Pepper branch: work on sound and animation system could go in, other branches probably too (motion capture file import, GE animation, Collada work). Proposal is to give at least a week everyone time for code review, via online codereview: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Tools/CodeReview Brecht & Campbell will help too, especially when reviews lack next sunday. - Peter Schlaile's branch on Sequencer Proxies approved, can go to trunk - Cycles render engine and Motion Tracking (tomato) is for 2.61. - Particle 2010 branch: approved. (Framing/looping feature hidden for now). - Other branches? Can people who added their branches ready here report if things are ready for final review? http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.6/Source/Development/Merge_And_Integration_Plan - Schedule proposal for current release cycle: BCon1 is now. BCon2 start: 1 sept (final targets for 2.60 defined) BCon3 start: 22 sept (branch mergers final) BCon4 start 2 oct (testbuild, fixing only) BCon5 start 9 oct (svn frozen, release a few days after) - Git discussion: we'll happily await a proposal, with a plan for how and who will tackle the tasks, keep history and SCM browse, what consequences would be for non-git experienced developers, why not Hg, like that. 3) Other projects - Ton reports Development Fund is reaching 1000/month. Will contact Jeroen Bakker to discuss OpenCL compositor project completion. - NVidia mailed as Siggraph follow-up, to support Mango project & developers with high-end cards, including Tesla. With AMD/ATI an appointment has been made at IBC conference Amsterdam (early September). Cooperation with Intel OpenGL team will be set up too. 4) Google Summer of Code. - Official "Pencils down" is tomorrow! Best GSoC ever! Not every student is finished though, but there's general interest to continue after the deadline too. - Students who want to get their work in 2.60 can discuss it with mentor how to prepare submission.
