[Bf-committers] Blender developers meeting minutes, 2016-11-13

[Bastien Montagne]

Hi everyone,

Here are the notes from today's 16 CET / 15 UTC meeting in 
irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.

1) Blender 2.78a

Nothing new so far, 'b' release question is still undecided.

2) Other projects and 2.8

- OpenGL code modernization: work is good so far, but the team could 
still use more developers' help (see 
https://developer.blender.org/T49043 and 
wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/Source/OpenGL/Immediate_Mode_Replacement_Tasks 
to get involved).

- Dalai Felinto will publish first Layers design proposal next week (it 
will incorporate both the layermanagement and viewport projects).

- Mike Erwin is working closely with AMD on Vulkan + Blender designs for 
new 'low-level' graphic system.

- Lukas Töenne reports he has picked up work from Kevin Dietrich on the 
Cycles' volume/openvdb rendering.

Cheers,
Bastien
