Hey everyone and Happy Easter! :)
Today's meeting notes:
1) Blender 2.63 progress
-Sergey reports we have less and less critical issues in the bug tracker
Remaining issues:
1) high memory usage of undo stack (might be fixed for 2.64?)
2) Game engine crashes with textured meshes
-Campbell reports on his work this week:

-We agreed on doing a first release candidate middle of the week (11/12
April).
-Support for Kepler GPUs (Cycles/CUDA) will be provided as extra
download. People who want to test these cards can then download a small
zip archive with the needed render kernels. The CUDA 4.2 toolkit is
still too unstable for general usage. We stick with Toolkit 4.0.
-Release logs in progress, help is welcome!

3) Google Summer of Code
-Deadline for submissions was on Friday, we have 45 proposals which we
will check on in the upcoming days. Lot of work! :)
-Accepted proposals will be announced on 23rd of April.
Thanks!
Best regards,
Thomas
