Hi all,

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

1) 2.70 release review

- Last week 2.70 got released! Kudos for everyone who helped making it possible.

- Sergey Sharybin found already five commits/fixes he considers to be important 
enough to add in an update release. Bug tracker reports now also keep streaming 
in.

- As usual - testing is our weakest point, even when we do many Release 
Candidates. Best feedback we get is on actual releases...

- Two proposals: 1) do an 'a' release in a few weeks. 2) do a real 2.71 in 3-4 
weeks, without or with minimal new features. Next week the topic will come back.

2) 2.71 development targets

- Meeting spent some time on filling in the targets and target candidates:

- Once we decide on an 'a' release (or not), the planning for 2.71 will be 
defined.

- Lukas Toenne: Compositor code cleaning was reviewed and approved by 
maintainers.

- Then a lot of time was spent on reviewing the status of supporting Windows 
XP, also related to moving from VC2008 to VC2013 compiler.
Decision was to have the Windows platform maintainers together define a 
proposal.

3) Other projects

- Google Summer of Code submission deadline was last friday. Aspiring mentors 
now review the proposals. As usual, by Google convention, proposals and reviews 
are kept private - unless a student makes it public (like in our wiki). Total 
submissions this year: 35.

- Amount of 'slots' will be defined by Google in 2 weeks, based on our reviews 
and requested amount - using a secret formula :)

Laters,

-Ton-
