Hi all,
Here's notes from today's meeting in IRC:
1) current projects and 2.59 release
- Brecht van Lommel worked on new keymap storage/definition design. Is
close to ready, commit follows within 1-2 days from now. This is still
main release target.
- Splitting user preferences: was 2.5 target too, but still needs a
good design plan and enough time for execution, now a post 2.59 target.
- Proposal: next sunday meeting final 2.59 decision, release can
follow a few days after.
(Note: several developers will be at Siggraph then. Thomas Dinges
offers to help coordinate release, Andrea Weikert can be backup for
Windows build).
- Make a test build! After Brecht's keymap work, this tuesday
probably. Call follows.
- FFmpeg update: we do 2.59 with FFmpeg 0.6.3 still.
- Peter Schlaile: tests with FFmpeg 0.8 in proxy branch are going
good, but audio seek needs work still. More info on his new sequencer
branch is here:
http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2011-May/032152.html
- OSX team: anyone available to join Jens/Damien as platform
maintainers for build issues, library compiles, releases and
especially Cocoa updating?
2) Other projects
- Campbell Barton: http://clang.blenderheads.org/trunk/
Everyone's invited to check on warnings here, it has smart code
analysis.
- Thomas Dinges made release cycle proposal:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:DingTo/ReleaseCycle-Proposal
He will update the doc based on reviews, with nice gfx!
- Sergey Sharybin: FFmpeg 0.8 needs to be added in our svn lib
directory for Windows/OSX
He can do for Windows, but needs OSX help. Jens Verwiebe available?
- Howard Trickey will join the BMesh team (after successful having
provided 6 patches already).
BMesh project needs more organization efforts... providing overview,
summarize work, assign todos to people. Campbell volunteers to
coordinate this, with as target to get a merge in trunk.
- Xaview Thomas started a project to get OpenColorIO in Blender:
https://github.com/thmxv/blender-ocio
Give him feedback on the mail he sent today!
- SpaceNavigator branch: the basics works fine and can go in 2.59, it
wont break things. Nathan Letwory will discuss with Mike Erwin if
that's possible within 1-2 days.
Further work would be to implement a "Dominant" and Non-dominant"
event queue in Blender. Dominant handlers also define input context,
non-dominant handlers only follow this. This is also related to work
presented at Blender Conference last year for Multi Touch support.
3) Google summer of Code
- Joerg Mueller made a video about his sound work progress:

He'll continue on adding a Speaker Object type in Blender.
- In about three weeks GSoC ends. Students should contact mentors to
confirm whether they're on track, and reconfirm targets. Final
requirements (what to submit to Google) will be confirmed on soc-dev
list.
Thanks,
-Ton-
