[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Here's the notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders:

1) Work on the next release

- Sergey Sharybin will add his holiday coding work on Plane Tracking in trunk this week.

- Bastien Montagne works on improvements in uiLists; adds resizing of lists by dragging, and filtering/reordering options.

- Brecht van Lommel will work on SSS, adding the improved sampling (solid angle paper from Siggraph for bssrdf sampling). Ubershader work might not be feasible for this release though.

- Next week the official 2.69 targets will be defined.
