[Bf-committers] Blender developer meeting notes, August 18, 2013

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Here are the notes of today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders

1) Projects for the upcoming release.

- Cycles now is available under the permissive Apache License. This was originally intended to do anyway, but it was decided to have it first mature under the safe Blender GPL umbrella.
Read more about it on the code blog: http://code.blender.org

- Bastien Montagne reminds people to feedback on the UiList work:

- We move to BCon2 now, potential release targets:

Some of these might not make it in time, Ton Roosendaal will update the targets during the week by checking with the developers in person.

- Brecht van Lommel updated SSS for Cycles:

2) Google Summer of Code

- Thomas Dinges is updating sky rendering, using Sky Model from Hosek / Wilkie.
