[Bf-committers] Blender developers irc meeting,

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Relative short and compact meeting today!

1) 2.5x project progress

- Bastien Montagne explains his Node 'mute' proposal.
Ton suggests for now to either disable 'mute' on Material/Texture  
nodes, or code it the simple way as it is now for Compositor.
A callback method for node muting seems like a bit overkill, but  
optionally it could work. Should be checked on when other node  
redesign topics are reviewed.

- Bug tracker at 174 open reports now.

2) Other Projects

- Cycles: Brecht made notes for how Texture Workflow could work:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Render/TextureWorkflow
He will continue on this with also UI proposal (mockup, proof of  
concept code) and then ask for official reviews.

- Meeting is fine with giving Sjoerd de Vries a branch for integration  
& proofing work for the "Hive" game logic system. He can contact Ton  
for further arrangements.

- Janne Karhu approved a patch for particles (adaptive subframes), the  
developer for patch likes to add a credit for company in SVN. That's  
of course OK.

However: In general we could check on proper GPL header contributor  
credit conventions... might be related to having a 'contributor  
agreement' in place as well.

3) Google Summer of Code

- Ton reconfirms that students should work on a presentation of their  
design and plans (and results) in wiki. A concise overview that works  
for everyone to understand what goes on, review it or help out!

- One student missing (not replying mails or phone): Christopher Neal,  
student at http://www.sas.upenn.edu. If anyone knows him, tell us if  
all's OK there?

Thanks,

-Ton-
