[Bf-committers] Developers meeting notes, 2016-09-04

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

Here are the notes from the Sunday 14 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.
A short meeting today!

1) Blender 2.78 RC

- The first release candidate is out. Log in progress:
https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.78

(Todo: coders who worked on features, check on good logs, images and example files).

2) Other projects and Blender 2.8

- Meeting proposal: no planning or decisions on 2.79 targets this year, will be agenda topic
on first meeting in January. All focus goes to 2.8 work now.

- Ton Roosendaal is still finalising the deal with AMD and interviewing developers for paid work.
First goal is still to involve active/current contributors. Contact Ton with ideas or suggestions. 

- Bastien and Mike Erwin will be visiting Blender Institute in September. Ton will organise
meetings with them and other developers who work(ed) on Blender's viewport or on realtime PBR.

- During Blender Conference there's room for sessions on 2.8 plans as well, to get people 
together who are interested to help out. A schedule for this will be released later.

Thanks,

-Ton-
