> Hi everyone,
>
> Here are notes from today's 14h UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
>
> 1) Blender 2.75 release planning
>
> - Everything that was planned is now in master! We are in official "BCon3" now.
>    (Only fixing Blender)
>
> - Dependency graph will get more docs. Here's a first draft already:
> http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.75/Animation
>
> - Same for Cycles OpenCL kernel split.
> http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.75/Cycles
>
> - We need more field reports from AMD users about what works!
>
> - Thomas Dinges makes a Cycles feature diagram (outline which features work in what configs)
>
> - Wednesday: Sergey Sharybin will do a call for a first testbuild release.
>
> - Next week we'll review if we move to BCon4.
>
> - Splash: Gooseberry team will make one. Meeting suggests to do a contest for 2.76 again,
> will be decided later.
>
> - Sound is working in Blender's animation player now, can this go to the 2.75 release as
> bug fix? Quick review will follow to check on it.
>
> 2) Other projects
>
> - Viewport project is still not progressing really well.
> Partially it's because time is too much shattered from contributors, and partially because
> there's still no commonly agreed on strategy or master plan design.
>
> Ton Roosendaal suggests to add a dedicated viewport mailing list for people who want to be
> active in the project and who are interested in it, and first settle on the big picture.
> Details follow.
>
> - Lukas Toenne about hair coding: the good news is that the strands data structure in
> Gooseberry branch and the integration of the solver and new hair edit mode almost
> constitutes a new hair system (not using the particle system). Still needs a new framework
> how it fits in the creation pipeline. Work in progress.
>
> - Bastien Montagne's filebrowser update will likely make it in 2.76.
>
> - Martijn Berger restyled the buildbot page:
> https://builder.blender.org/download/
>
> Thanks,
>
