[Bf-committers] Blender developers meeting notes - 2017-10-16

[Bastien Montagne]

Hi all,

Here are the notes from today's 8 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net 
#blendercoders.
Reminder: meetings are on Mondays now, next meeting is 23 Oct, 16 UTC 
(18 CEST).

1) Blender 2.79 release

- 2.79a is needed, but not urgently, so meeting agreed on waiting after 
BConf to do it. Also, as a reminder, only trivial or safe fixes shall be 
backported from master to blender-2.79-release branch.

- Help from other devs to triage, backport and test commits from master 
into 2.79 would be appreciated, a separated email will be sent to 
bf-commiters later with details on that topic.

2) Blender 2.8 projects

- Not much to report, works keeps on going.

- Campbell Barton did tool system proposal (with proof of concept 
patch), see https://developer.blender.org/T53047.

- Joshua Leung reminds that the advanced new Grease Pencil work shall be 
merged in main 2.8 branch in comming days.

3) Other projects

- Nothing mentionned here, aside from Sergey noting that he will take 
down development.blender.org server some time this week (probably this 
tuesday) to do some maintenance work.

Thanks,
Bastien

PS: sorry for the delay, we lost the power grid for 4h here this 
afternoon...
