- Meeting agrees on doing a status check om Wednesday, then either call for the
first Release Candidate, or wait a week.

2) Other projects and Blender 2.8

- Blender Institute is still talking with potential candidates for a full time job
on 2.8 work (in Amsterdam). No news.

- Mike Erwin is planning to be in Amsterdam 2nd half of September. Ton Roosendaal checks
on organising a 'sprint' or workshop to freeze the specs for Viewport.

3) Google Summer of Code

- All mentors and students have delivered their final reports. Overview:

Thanks,
