Hi all, Here are the notes from today's developer meeting. Next meeting is back on Monday, 15 June 18:00 CEST / 16:00 UTC, in #blender-coders on blender.chat.
For the complete report read it on: https://devtalk.blender.org/t/15-june-2020/13745 Announcements ============= * The Grease Pencil team is starting a new group to work in an “official” grease pencil add-on for things that can help in grease pencil productions. To be announced in bf-committers. * Vive / SteamVR officially supports OpenXR - so 2.83 and 2.90 gets it. There is a workaround for a color bug already in master and a fix will be ported to 2.93. * Sybren Stüvel is removing HDF5 support from Alembic import/export. Buildbot ======= * Buildbot maintenance still ongoing. * Sergey Sharybin will write to bf-committers when done. * Daily builds of 2.90 are back, but developers are not to kick new builds. * The 2.90 macOS builds will not include CUDA kernels anymore. * Sergey is upgrading macOS/Xcode to move forward with C++17, and there is no CUDA/OptiX toolkits for the new platform 2.83 ==== * Meeting notes for the communication port-mortem [1] * Bastien Montagne urges reviewers (Brecht Van Lommel and Sergey) to look at D8006 (Undo & Make Local Fix) for 2.83.1. * Splashscreen file missing (Ian Hubert is still removing non-cc textures). * Jeroen Bakker will discuss with Dalai Felinto after the meeting on how to handle tagging of the corrective release. 2.90 ==== * The per-module 2.90 roadmap is available [2]. * Roadmap is also posted on the 2.90 module page [3] - items there to be crossed once the feature is fully documented and has a non-tech demo file. * For the time being contact Dalai when you think the features are fully done. Modules Organization ================= Last week some modules changed their landing page and unifying the way the workboards are used. So far the new organized modules are organized: * Sculpt, Paint & Texture * Animation & Rigging * Data, Assets & I/O * Nodes & Physics In a nutshell the changes are: * Remove the “Module Task”. * Make the module/tag the go-to page for the module. * Every release update the long-term roadmap (svg is in the page itself - so it is never lost). * All workboards to have at least the columns: 2.90 | Long-term | Bugs. * Bulk tag all the tasks that are not tagged to the main module. * Dalai will work with the other module owners to get them all up to date and the roadmap. Google Summer of Code =================== * Students are expected to keep their weekly reports, as well as a feedback thread on devtalk. * Peter Klimenko (PeterK): Adding support for the OpenXR action system to blender and using it to implement VR controls in Blender. * We are still missing the one-line project introduction by Sriharsha (Sriharsha), Sam (samkottler) and Matt (mattoverby). Others ===== * Blender is looking to hire UI/UX designer as well a manager with experience in open source community manager. To be posted on bf-committers.
