[Bf-education] education meeting at bconf

[Piotr Arłukowicz]

Hm, maybe they need more time to polish other important things, or at least
move most of the functionality from 2.7 to 2.8. Right now it seems like 2.8
is half-full in comparison to the 2.79.
Files you've found definitely require more developers love, but who's gonna
love them if everybody are already busy? :)

regards!
