[Bf-committers] Developer irc meeting minutes, 16 Jan 2011

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

1) 2.5 project

- Tracker went up to 67, enough work todo still!

- Sergey announced that his "crazyspace" work to allow sculpting  
armature-deformed meshes is ready for final reviews. He'll get it  
reviewed first by Brecht, and then either commits or posts in tracker  
for further feedback.

- COLLADA: Ton had a concerned mail from COLLADA lead Remi Arnaud, he  
and Khronos offer their support, they also would love to see Blender  
to soon get the official Khronos Conformancy Badge! Nathan Letwory is  
in contact with Remi to check on what can be done together.

- Campbell mentions that all core IO scripts from 2.4 now are ported  
to 2.5. They work similar or better (x3d) even now. Campbell offers to  
make a test suite for Import/Export with default reference .blend files.

- Nathan will post a diagram with the current state (support level,  
features) of our Import/Export scripts.

2) Other projects, branches

- Lukas Toenne updated his blog about his particle node work: http://phonybone.planetblender.org/

- That post, and Jeroen's proposal for OpenCL could be copied to our  
code blog too! Ton will set this going.

- This week we'll also check which of the tablet work from Mike Erwin  
can go to trunk.

- Ton notices Tamito Kajuyama nicely keeps his Non-Photo-Realistic  
render branch (FreeStyle) upto date with the 2.5 trunk. Testers and  
reviewers welcome!
