Hi all,

Summary of today's IRC meeting:

1) Blender 2.58

- Everyone gets compliments with the smooth 2.58 release, bi-monthly  
cycles ftw! :)

- Peter Schlaile has new Sequencer proxy system ready for commit:
  http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2011-May/032152.html

  For loading old it files requires to use  "Strip -> Rebuild proxy"  
menu. Wiki log follows!

- Keymap fix: Brecht, Campbell & Ton had meeting discussing how this  
system would become reliable for both usage as save/load and add-on  
cases. Ton writes out proposal.

- Campbell added scriptlink-style callbacks: scripts can be assigned  
to on-load and on-render now.
   He looks into scene-change and other options too.

- Campbell will present a wiki doc with Import/Export status overview  
of Blender.


2) Other projects

- Brecht has big Cycles engine commit coming, draw mode changes and  
texture worflow.

- Branch developers, update on status for merging plans?

- FYI: BMesh review & progress in wiki:

3) Google Summer of Code

- Salad merging with current trunk gives problems. Who helps?

- Joshua proposes (most of his) work could go to trunk for 2.59.  
Agreed to review this during next weeks.

- Midterm evaluation is in 2 weeks! In general the students do great,  
some need to get inspired to communicate their progress, plans and  
results better though. Being handled on the soc-dev list:
http://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/soc-2011-dev

- One student never responded to mails, Christopher Neal from  
sas.upenn.edu. Anyone there who can check if all's OK with him?

-Ton-
