[Bf-committers] Blender developers weekly meeting notes - 2017-09-18

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi there,

Here are the notes from today's 08 UTC meeting in irc.freenode.net
#blendercoders.
Note: meetings are on Mondays now, next meeting is 25 Sept, 16 UTC (18 CEST).

Today was a bit informal and we mostly made a 2.8 meeting out of it.

1) Grease pencil

- Hero [1] was announced this week. This will be a grease pencil open
project to be produced with Blender 2.8. For that we will need to have
greasepencil-object branch merged in 2.8.

- The goal is to merge it before the production starts mid-October.

- Campbell Barton and Joshua Leung are looking at making sure the
branch is fully buildable, so review can start soon.

2) Proposal for feature removal and deprecation

- Campbell Barton suggests developers to take a look at T52805. This
is a parent task for stuff which is proposed for removal, so people
get a chance to respond.

3) Design decisions

- We are reaching a few showstoppers in 2.8 due to lack of consensus
in a few design areas. We need to find a way to solve design issues
and make decisions on it.

- Ton Roosendaal suggests a meeting this week for developers working
fulltime or contributing to Blender 2.8 project. He will arrange the
date and time and communicate the involved parties.
