[Bf-committers] Weekly Blender developer meeting minutes - June 2, 2013

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

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

1) Next release targets

- Blender 2.67b was released last week, luckily no 'c' is going to be made :)

- Cycles 'uber shader': Brecht van Lommel mostly works on UI (restructure) code for it now. You will get nodes with like 30 inputs and properties, which needs to be presented well in properties editor and node editor. 

- Bastien Montagne will have patch soon to RNA-ify the 'editor menu' (to set editor types), so its in Python and translation control.

- OpenEXR 2.0 migration progress for Windows mostly done, other platforms still WIP.

- No further news on the other targets:

2) Other projects

- Technical topic: Sergey Sharybin was investigating if libz can be static linked for Windows, needs someone to check Mingw as well. 

3) GSoC

- Students: add your Google proposal in wiki!

- Students: don't forget filling in enrolment and tax forms for Google.

- It's still "community bonding" period for 2 weeks, feel welcome to hook up with mentor and the rest here on the list or in irc.

Thanks,

-Ton-
