Hi all,

Here's the notes of today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders

1) Blender 2.68 projects

- Release planning overview updated:
  http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Projects#2.6x_release_cycle

- Brecht van Lommel did Multiview branch review. It progresses well, but has 
enough open issues to better schedule it after 2.68 release.

- We do switch to OpenEXR 2.0 for all release builds though.
Campbell Barton or Sergey Sharybin will handle the update for Linux platform. 
For OS X and Windows this has been done last week.

- Jeffrey Hoover (Italic_ in irc) volunteered to install a build-slave, and 
provide daily Windows builds for MSVC 32/64 bits, and for MingW 64 bits build.

- Python security: Blender now defaults to load files "Untrusted". That can 
make some files not work when get them, especially for animation drivers. The 
UI will indicate this clearly though.

This week, Campbell will add the option in User Preferences to mark directories 
to have untrusted files  - if "trusted" is default - or the other way around. 
That will allow you to mark your browser's download directory unsafe, and the 
rest of your files can auto-run scripts as usual.

2) Other projects & GSoC

- GSoC starts officially tomorrow! People interested in seeing progress or 
reviewing work for students should join this mailing list:
http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/soc-2013-dev

Note: especially artists are invited to closely keep an eye on developers who 
work on their favourite tools!

Thanks,

-Ton-
