Hi all, Here are the notes from today's 18 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders. Reminder: meetings are on Mondays now, next meeting is 8 Jan, 9 UTC (10 CET). This one was on Tuesday exceptionally due to the holidays.
1) Blender 2.79a * We expect a test build to be announced next week for people to test it. * Brecht Van Lommel suggests (in mailing list) for future releases to have a bug-fix branch from beginning. * A list of commits to be included was sent to the corresponding mailing lists (bf-committers and bf-python). And the 2.79a brach was created with them already. * Bastien Montage wants to check with Sergey Sharybin and Campbell Barton to be sure conflicting commits were merged properly. This will have to wait until Friday. 2) Blender 2.8 projects * Clément Foucalt is working again on Eevee bug fixes, with focus on OpenGL rendering. * Antonio Vazquez is implementing a new Grease Pencil fill tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZR8_noNB7VU [note for developers, remember to use Blender Developers channel when possible - it also helps] * Dalai Felinto has been working on collection editing as per https://developer.blender.org/T53493 ; https://developer.blender.org/T53495 . Feedback is welcome for the changes already committed. * Ton Roosendaal will ask Pablo Vazquez and other UI/UX designers to help the asset project to deliver more tangible results. * Many developers were away last week due to holidays. Development should be fully resumed throughout this week. * There are still 2.8 areas that are open issues such as workbench engine and workspace. Next week we should check the planning for January-March to make sure everyone know what to do and to be sure all the main projects are tackled. 3) Other projects * Philipp Oeser (lichtwerk) accepted a grant to work this month on triaging in tracker. * Holiday season reports: - https://code.blender.org/2017/12/blender-2-8-xmas-report/ - https://www.blender.org/press/blender-projects-in-2018-to-look-forward-to/ * Google Summer of Code starts soon.
