Hi all, Here are the notes from today's 16 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
Note: meetings are on Mondays now, next meeting is 18 Sept, 08 UTC (10 CEST)! 1) Blender 2.79 release - Release Ahoy done! Builds are coming in now, they get a last test and then need to be synced by the mirrors. Official release is tomorrow daytime EU. - Bastien Montagne will do the git release tag tomorrow. He will also updates the bug fix list and other changes since RC2. - Pablo Vazquez manages the release log on blender.org, Francesco Siddi will do the release on Steam. Campbell Barton will publish the source.tgz on the download site. 2) Blender 2.8 projects - A 2.8 splash (an Eevee render!) will be submitted this week. - Dalai Felinto works on new doc with a good 2.8 design presentation (representing work done so-far). - Clement Foucault will work in Blender Institute this week one day. Goal is to schedule 6+ months of work on viewport. - Joshua Leung accepted a Development Fund grant for 2 months to work on 2.9 Grease Pencil and to help with triaging and bug tracker support. - Attention module owners: please let us know what dependencies (libraries) need to be upgraded? For example OpenSubdiv, Cmake, minimal OSX version, etc. Mail this to the bf-committers list. - A topic to tackle soon: massive tracker cleanup - a lot of issues are not valid for 2.8x. - We have to merge the 2.8 branch with master one day... not soon, but hopefully this year. - Howard Trickey: the GSoC Vpaint branch is close to be merged in master. Campbell Barton reviews. - Weekly reports: Clement (soft shadow!): https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Hypersomniac/Foundation/2017#Week_39:_3rd_-_10th_September Dalai: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Dfelinto/Foundation17#Week_15_.28September_4th_-_8th.29 Bastien: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Mont29/Foundation/2017#Week_208_-_09.2F02_to_09.2F08 Campbell: http://download.blender.org/ftp/ideasman42/donelist/2017.html#week-338-september-4 Sergey Sharybin: https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/Foundation/2017#Week_301:_4th_-_10th_September 3) Other projects - Mike Erwin will pick up the Blender exporter for glTF: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Blender-Exportergltf Thanks, -Ton- -------------------------------------------------------- Ton Roosendaal - t...@blender.org - www.blender.org Chairman Blender Foundation, Director Blender Institute Entrepotdok 57A, 1018 AD, Amsterdam, the Netherlands _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
