Google Summer of Code
=====================
* Coding officially started this week for all the students.
* All the students will have a thread on devtalk to gather feedback,
as well as a thread for their weekly reports. [2]

A few students shared a one-line pitch of their project. More next week.
* Ankit Meel (ankitm): I'm writing OBJ, STL & PLY importers and
exporters in C++ for faster processing & less memory usage.
* Falk David (filedescriptor): I'm working together with Antonio on a
grease pencil tool that allows the user to manipulate strokes using
curves.
* Himanshi Kalra (Calra): I am working on regression tests and this
week involves finishing the prototype that automatically generates
blend objects for testing.

Others
======
* Dalai Felinto proposes to simplify the release cycle [3] by merging
bcon4 and bcon5. That leaves LTS to be the new bcon5.
