[Bf-committers] Blender developer weekly meeting minutes - June 9, 2013

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Here's the notes from a nice short meeting today in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders

1) Blender 2.68 release targets

- Meeting agrees on sticking to planning, which is moving to BCon3 today. There's only three weeks left for doing a next release, which we better spend on stabilizing and a massive bug attack... the amount of tracker reports went close to 150 already.

- Based on the available coders, the following targets were moved:

  - Cycles: new hair shaders - including Kajiya-Kay.
  - Cycles Ubershader'
  - Pie menus
  - Save and load "template" blend files

- Multiview and OpenEXR 2.0 migration: suggested is to move that as well, but Dalai Felinto can plea his case still (if he insists :). Brecht van Lommel is available next week for review.

- Updated release target list:

- Python auto-run script becomes "disabled" as default. Proposal for a good UI to handle this will be reviewed this week.

2) Other projects

- GSoC branches for students can be added now. Naming convention will be:
  soc-2013-name
  Where 'name' is descriptive, or name of developer. Student and mentor can decide together on it. Help with adding branches you can ask Sergey, Brecht or Campbell for.
