Announcements
=============

* This week starts the GSoC students applications period (until March
31st). If any developer wants to join the mentor team, poke Dalai
Felinto. Even if only to help review and decide in the proposals.
* Asset Manager was one of the more troublesome topic during the quick
ui workshop last month, so it got its own blog post to clarify the
proposed design [1].

Blender 2.83 bcon2
==================
* bcon2 this Wednesday (18/03) to be managed by Nathan Letwory.
* The main pending features arew on track to be merged. Namely volume
objects, virtual reality and faster Undo.
* Soon after branching happens, Dalai Felinto plans to merge D6811.
This will be followed by a `make format` commit that will lead to
merging conflicts for other patches.
