[Bf-committers] Blender developers meeting minutes - February 22, 2015

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

(Our DNS service had/has issues, websites work but might not resolve. Just retry then!)

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

1) Upcoming 2.74 release

- The current project list:
  http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Projects

- We're still on planning and in BCon3 (wrapping up and fix only). A test build can be made next week.

- The "Sticky keys" patch has been moved to 2.75. Julian Eisel (code) and Campbell Barton (review) agreed that changes in Blender's event system are a bit too risky now, better apply right after release.

- Apparently a lot of coders like cats! So, time to challenge the artists out there to come up with Cat Splash for 2.74. Frequent code-contributors who have cats can help judging! (Contact me).

2) Other projects

- Blender Foundation has sent in the application! March 2 Google announces which orgs participate this year.

- All module owners are invited to add their ideas for GSoC students on this list:

- Bastien Montagne has been having fun optimizing our GHash hashing code:

Thanks,
