PCC Meeting notes, 2004-08-23

Attending: P. Becker, E. Brink, M. Hoffman, P. Lunden,
A. Plohman, T. Roosendaal, S. Schneider, M. Schlingmann,
E. Steenberg, and G. Svensson.

Minusplus not attending, problems w/ relocating office space.

1. Something about "Purple" added to agenda (Gert). Blender conf
   added to agenda (Ton).
2. The 6 month economic report, blocker for distributing rest of
   pre-payment, so hurry up  :) 
        No questions.
3. Consortium Logo
        Proposals due this meeting.
                Eskil: not enough time to work on logo :/
        Delayed for next meeting.
4. Progress reports from WP leaders
        Format/template questions. Gert: no template, e-mail fine.
        Schedule, how often? Gert: each quarter, short statement
        about progress.
	First report on Sep 1 2004? Seems accepted, given that there
        are no formal demands and that half a page e-mailed is an
        okay format. Gert: should mention what has been done so far,
        and include problems/deviations from the time and/or resource
        plans.

        WP5 (Tools) progress was discussed.
        Fraunhofer working on PDA client, early version available
        end of year. Then OpenSG client, early version of which is
        estimated for middle/end of 2005.
        Eskil wants to see links to work in progress, good for PR
        and community purposes.

        Audio progress: Ludde has been tied up in other projects.
        Will work almost 100% on Uni-Verse from now, though. With
        Pontus. Early demo of audio culling for Jan 2005.

        Gert: will compile list from status reports as they are
        delievered to him.
5. Audio specs due Sep 2004!
        Ludde: delivered late Sep 2004.
6. Next IRL meeting
        Suggested: Blender conference. Dates? Angela: conf is Oct
	22-24, 2004 (Fri-Sat). Should meeting be before or after?
	BF only has the space for those dates. Ton is busy before.
        Gert: one day might be enough time. Ton suggests Thursday,
	Oct 21 reluctantly.
        Gert: decision over e-mail so everyone can participate in
	discussion.
	Ton wishes for a U-V meeting format that's different from
	"all partners in the same room all the time". Gert agreed.
7. Purple
        Development under way, although started "late" around month
	3/4 of project. Code is in CVS at blender.org. Ton wishes
	for presentation at BF conf, with Verse illustration/demo,
        including "some slides" of the Purple ideas.
8. Next online meeting
        Maybe not necessary before IRL  meeting at BF conf?
	Gert: next PCC @ conference.

[11:18] Gert:  OK we have agreed on the agenda

[11:18] Gert:  I have sent out an email about the 6 month economic report
[11:19] Martin:  y
[11:19] Gert:  Is that OK or is there some question?
[11:19] sschneid:  yes we´ve got it
[11:19] eskilsteenberg:  Im sorry to find that the dead line for submissions have been passed for the Blender Conf.
[11:19] sschneid:  We´ve forwarded it to Volker. He will take care of it and contact you if there are questions directly
[11:19] Gert:  When we have recived this report the rest of the first prepayment will be sent out
[11:20] eskilsteenberg:  What kind of info do you need from me and emil about our talks?
[11:20] ton:  gert; can we add blenconf to agenda?

[11:21] ton:  okie
[11:21] Gert:  OK it seems to be no qesutions about the economic report
[11:22] Gert:  Has something happende with the logo? Last meeting is was decied to have a proposal for this meeting!
[11:23] Gert:  It seems that MinusPlus couldn't join today since they are relocating the office
[11:23] eskilsteenberg:  I have done nothing, I have had too mkuch to do whit siggraph verse, the mailing list and the new UV editor, sorry.
[11:23] Martin:  so... should we delay to next meeting?
[11:23] ton:  i'm fine with that
[11:23] Gert:  So what should we do? Skip the logo or try to next meeting?
[11:23] Martin:  next
[11:24] Ludde:  next
[11:24] ton:  next
[11:24] Marcus:  next
[11:24] Gert:  OK
[11:24] emil: luckily we have 36 months... hoping for nice logo on final reports  :) 
[11:24] Martin:   :) 
[11:24] Marcus:  *g*
[11:25] Gert:  Next point is the progress reports from WP leader
[11:25] Gert:  I haven't requested that yet but now it seems good to start that
[11:25] Martin:  ok
[11:25] sschneid:  Is there a template or a special format / lenght you prefer for that?
[11:26] angelaplohman:  please let us know the schedule - how often would you like these reports?
[11:26] Martin:  I am wp leader for wp5 (tools), however
[11:26] Gert:  It should be a short statement each quarter about the progress of the WP
[11:26] sschneid:  yes
[11:26] Martin:  I realized that i had to come up with this last friday
[11:26] Martin:  so i sent a very late mail on the list yesterday
[11:26] Martin:  did you get it?
[11:26] Ludde:  y
[11:27] emil: so, gert, there is no specific formalized format or template to follow?
[11:27] Gert:  I don't know if it would be to early to start with the first report Sept 1 ??
[11:27] Martin:  if everybody involved in the wp5 could sent me a status and plan I can compile this
[11:27] Martin:  but
[11:27] Marcus:  if its just a short statement this would be ok for us
[11:27] Gert:  No an email is just fine!
[11:27] Martin:  for today we could all give a status and expected "first deliverable"/demonstrator view
[11:28] Martin:  starting with wp5.1?
[11:28] emil: gert: okay *taking notes*
[11:28] Gert:  OK
[11:28] sschneid:  perhaps you should specify what exactly do you expect. Perhaps if it should be a formless summary on what we´ve done so far of about 1/2 Page there is absolut no problem to have it on 1st of september
[11:28] angelaplohman:  i agree
[11:29] sschneid:  but if you prefer more than that (special format, more pages) it could take some days longer of course
[11:29] Martin:  would be perfect, but also a small plan, for example i plan with WP5.4
[11:29] Gert:  What you have done so far. Any problems deviations from the time plan or resource plan
[11:29] Martin:  to have a first release in jan 2005, then iterations/releases every 3 month
[11:30] Martin:  but for today only status report (one lineers) and release plan
[11:30] Martin:  wp5.1 is modeller plug-in
[11:31] Martin:  status?
[11:31] emil: under way, but the project member doing the work is not present here
[11:31] Gert:  That work has started and a fisrt version of a Maya plugin will be finshed end of the month.
[11:31] eskilsteenberg:  Its going forward
[11:32] Martin:  so it will be able to be demonstrated the lat of september then?
[11:32] Martin:  nice
[11:32] ton:   :) 
[11:32] becker:  great
[11:32] Martin:  5.2 is scripting tool plugin
[11:32] emil: scripting tool plugin = Purple, these days. I hope
[11:32] ton:  thats the complex blender & purple thing yes
[11:33] Martin:  ok lets take than later when it appears in the agenda?
[11:33] emil: how did the word "plugin" end up there? makes 0 sense to me  :) 
[11:33] Martin:  5.3 is administrator tool
[11:33] ton:  as promised this year, hopefully at blenconf already, we have verse support in blender too
[11:33] Gert:  about the plugin we may
[11:33] Gert:  like to discuss if we should aim at a perfect Maya plug in
[11:34] ton:  and there's a new project submitted on our site just recently to hook up blender, verse and sql server
[11:34] Martin:  why not, it's not supposed to be finnished until april 2005
[11:34] ton:  will talk with E & E about that later
[11:34] Gert:  or write two instead Maya + 3DS Max with slightly limited functionality
[11:34] eskilsteenberg:  I have a new tool out, its an UV editor that is kind of great. I will release a new more final version in the comming days, Stay tuned to the verse-dev list.
[11:34] Martin:  what about administartor tools?
[11:35] Gert:  Eskil?
[11:35] eskilsteenberg:  We may aim for Maya and MAX, but we may also do something like a Renderman out put just because it is so easy.
[11:36] Martin:  nice
[11:36] Martin:  so what about administrator tools (wp5.3)?
[11:36] emil: um, you're kind of confusing your friendly note-taker now... are people giving the progress reports *here*? doesn't feel right
[11:36] Gert:  Could Eskil comments about admin tools?
[11:36] eskilsteenberg:  I dont know about that yet, I have planed to get the UV tool out ASAP and then Start working on verse R4. that will have security built in.
[11:37] Martin:  ok
[11:37] eskilsteenberg:  I would gues that "Connector" is a admin tool and it is out.
[11:37] Martin:  ok
[11:37] Martin:  about 5.4, thats me..
[11:37] Martin:  i sent you a mini version of my internal scheduele
[11:38] Martin:  main codebase (event handling etc) is finnished, but unstable
[11:38] eskilsteenberg:  My guess is that any security options in the server will be controled by tags and that can be done in connector.
[11:38] Martin:  next step is to integrate to verse then the rest of the codebase for the main system
[11:38] Martin:  can be demonstrated in jan 2005
[11:39] Martin:  will be finalized in april 2006 (month 28)
[11:39] Martin:  so wp 5.5, radiosity module?
[11:40] Marcus:  will be inteegrated in the final version of the high performance renderer
[11:40] Marcus:  month 28
[11:40] Martin:  but a version with limited functionality earlier?
[11:40] Martin:  or not?
[11:41] emil: gert: should progress reports appear here, or be e-mailed to you?
[11:41] Marcus:  i dont think that there will be an earlier release
[11:41] Martin:  ok
[11:41] Gert:  I think they should be emailed to me
[11:41] Marcus:  we have to develop the cilents and proxy first
[11:41] Martin:  so why having it on the agenda?
[11:41] Gert:  but if people like to discuss it here it's fine
[11:41] Martin:  You have it on the agenda.....
[11:41] emil: gert: fine. then, um, next point on agenda? it seems to be random progress discussions here now
[11:41] emil: okay  :)  talk on
[11:41] Martin:  ........
[11:42] Martin:  i think also it's a good point if we have progress reports
[11:42] Martin:  so wp5 have reported i think
[11:42] Martin:  i will put together a document and email it to you all after discussing more with participants later
[11:43] Gert:  what about the rendering clients WP4?
[11:43] eskilsteenberg:  I would very much apreachiate eralyer, even incompleat releases.
[11:43] Gert:  I agree with eskil 
[11:43] eskilsteenberg:  My rendering client is under costruction but Verse R4 is more important. 
[11:43] Martin:  same here, btw do we have a "global" cvs yet?
[11:43] Gert:  better to start to test early
[11:43] eskilsteenberg:  OpenGL 2 will be out Aug 29th.
[11:44] ton:  cool. finally!
[11:44] sschneid:  An early version of the PDA rendering client will be available until the end of this year
[11:44] emil: martin: not that I'm aware of, but using cvs at blender.org is one alternative
[11:44] eskilsteenberg:  If people could post links to their work in propgress we could give alot more help and it would also energize the comunity when they see that things are happening.
[11:45] sschneid:  After that we will focus on the OpenSG (high performance) Rendering Client, i.e. an early version of that will be available in the middle/the end of next year
[11:45] Martin:  ok
[11:45] Gert:  What about the audio side? 
[11:46] Gert:  In the report Lauri sent it wasn't that much about the II stuff or did I misunderatnd that?
[11:46] Ludde:  i have been busy with other project under the spring and
[11:47] Ludde:  have not done so much work, however
[11:47] Ludde:  the stiuation will change now and
[11:47] Gert:  Great!
[11:47] Ludde:  i will work almost full time with uni-vers from now
[11:48] Ludde:  together with Pontus
[11:48] Ludde:  We plan to have a early demonstrator of the audio-culling at jan 2005
[11:49] Gert:  OK I think we shoudl continue. When I recieve all reports about early releases demonstrators I will 
[11:49] Gert:  compile that into a list.
[11:49] eskilsteenberg:  Pontus has asked me on how to joun the uni-verse mailing list, can some one add him?
[11:50] Martin:  it seems that a majority of our task will be able to be demontsrated after month 14 (jan-feb 2005)
[11:50] Ludde:  thats great
[11:50] emil: isn't that month 12? didn't proj. start Feb 2004?
[11:50] Martin:  ohh yes
[11:50] emil: *confused*
[11:50] Martin:  sry
[11:51] emil: ok  :) 
[11:52] Gert:  on the deliverables the audio specfication is quite soon september
[11:52] Gert:  IS that under control?
[11:52] Ludde:  who is adm for the mail-list?
[11:52] Gert:  Blender
[11:53] ton:  i am
[11:53] Ludde:  i will contact Lauri abot that
[11:53] ton:  but, for uploads of docs we should use the website
[11:53] ton:  i can help with that, just mail me a doc for upload
[11:53] ton:  or i show how to do it yourself
[11:53] Ludde:  i think to be realistic that the audio spec will be delivered i late sept
[11:54] Gert:  Good!
[11:54] eskilsteenberg:  Audio is already in verse.
[11:55] Gert:  For the next workshop IRL meeting it has been suggested to have that at the Blender conefrence
[11:55] Gert:  I think we should agreee on dates for that now?
[11:55] angelaplohman:  The dates of the conference are October 22-24, 2004
[11:56] ton:  i would suggest to the monday after again
[11:56] ton:  +do
[11:56] Martin:  whn exactly is the blender conference?
[11:56] ton:  the days before conference I'll be too busy 
[11:56] Martin:  ahh
[11:56] angelaplohman:  So Monday, October 25 then?
[11:56] Gert:  How many days would we need for Uni-Verse discussions?
[11:57] ton:  days! :P
[11:57] Gert:  Wouldn't before the conference be possible?
[11:57] Martin:  ill be at the conference
[11:57] Gert:  Is the blender conefercene full three days?
[11:57] ton:  i think we have 2 things; one is blender conference itself (doing universe things there) and the other is a PCC or consotrium meeting
[11:58] angelaplohman:  The conference will be a full 3 days, yes.
[11:58] ton:  during conference theres sufficient space for special (open) sessions
[11:58] ton:  but for a consortium meeting i doubt we have slot then
[11:59] ton:  only when it is not possible otherwise...
[11:59] ton:  mostly because both angela & me will be needed to attend & organize conference activities themselves
[11:59] Gert:  I have a confernce I planned to attend on the Monday after the meeting. 
[12:00] ton:  ahh
[12:00] Martin:  so who plans to attend to the conference?
[12:00] ton:  yes, lets first verify that
[12:00] Gert:  I would prefer to have to Uni-Verse day before the meeting
[12:00] eskilsteenberg:  I do
[12:00] Martin:  me
[12:00] ton:  emil?
[12:00] Marcus:  i would prefer to have the uni-verse meeting outside the conference
[12:01] emil: day before sounds convenient, but I can see why it'd be problematic for ton...
[12:01] ton:  apart from organizing issues, i have possible smaller pre-conference sessions with people
[12:01] ton:  this year we expect more visitors worldwide
[12:02] ton:  already heard americans, and several australians attending
[12:02] emil: after the conference you will be dead tired, on the other hand  :) 
[12:02] ton:  ooh... sunday evening we dont have conference
[12:02] ton:  we stop sunday early, at 18h
[12:02] emil: aha, okay
[12:02] ton:  so sunday from 19.30 - 23.00 we could do stuff
[12:03] Gert:  I don't think an evenig is enough !
[12:03] emil: a bit tight, don't you think?
[12:03] angelaplohman:  yes, but not in the space of the conference location - we need to find a new space.
[12:03] ton:  gert; what were you thinking of?
[12:03] Gert:  what?
[12:03] ton:  what activities for consortium partners only
[12:03] emil: oh, angela has a point of course... the conf. location is rented for those days only, I gues?
[12:04] Marcus:  so if no one has the time around the conference we maybe should think about a different time
[12:04] ton:  angela; we can find space
[12:04] angelaplohman:  yes, of course...
[12:04] ton:  gert; i can imagine you like to do another 'workshop' two or three days again?
[12:05] Gert:  So what I had in mind was to have a day to discuss and plan about the project
[12:05] Gert:  Maybe two days are too much but at least a day 
[12:05] sschneid:  i think that one day will be enough as well
[12:05] ton:  well, if everyone can attend, i can do that thursday before
[12:06] Marcus:  that would be no problem for us...sounds good
[12:06] ton:  will need to find a replacement for self to help setting up conf stuff
[12:06] eskilsteenberg:  I hope every one is comming to the conf too, we can meet there and talk mor informal about how to solve technical issiues.
[12:06] ton:  but i only hear 4 people here attending
[12:06] emil: so that's oct 21, then?
[12:07] Gert:  I suggest that I check with the non present partners with an email befor ewe decide 
[12:07] angelaplohman:  yes, Thursday, October 21.
[12:07] ton:  and the thursday before conference is *really* a problem for me, will only do when it is absolute needed
[12:07] ton:  o know how these things go with last minute disasters  ;) 
[12:08] ton:  friday evening could also be used ( art festival)
[12:08] Gert:  I think we take the final diecsion over email so everyone can have his voice heard OK?
[12:08] ton:  and for saturday evening you can consortium dinner or so
[12:08] emil: fine
[12:09] Marcus:  ok lets decide this with mailing...
[12:09] ton:  ok
[12:09] Gert:  Ton Is there any more information about the Blender conference?
[12:10] ton:  about paper deadlines; its still OK to submit proposals
[12:10] ton:  we just wanted to have stuff in early  :) 
[12:10] Gert:  or this point on the agenda finished as well?
[12:10] angelaplohman:  If there are Uni-Verse related proposals, feel free to send them
[12:10] ton:  and apart from papers, the schedule allows several smaller sessions too
[12:10] eskilsteenberg:  Great emil and i will talk about it, then submit something.
[12:11] ton:  no, schedule is being worked on still
[12:11] ton:  will start this week though
[12:11] ton:  first tentative scheduling
[12:11] emil: Gert: http://www.blender3d.org/cms/Blender_Conference.52.0.html
[12:11] ton:  i am also not sure about thursday though, because i got signals we might need to have a 4 day conference...
[12:12] ton:  but thats unknown
[12:12] Gert:  when do you decide about that?
[12:12] angelaplohman:  tomorrow  ;) 
[12:12] ton:  this week
[12:12] ton:  hehehe
[12:13] Gert:  OK
[12:13] Gert:  Could emil say a few words about hpw Purple is doing?
[12:13] ton:  also; 1 thing
[12:13] Gert:  Anything to show at the conefernce?
[12:13] emil: "a few"? heh
[12:14] ton:  during the conference we have escape possibilities to rent rooms in same building downstairs
[12:14] ton:  i am not so much a fan of doing meetings with all consortium partners all the time
[12:14] ton:  we can also look at smaller sessions, where people who work together anyway can have time to talk
[12:15] ton:  maybe that is a means to bypass a 'full day' thursday
[12:15] Gert:  a full day doens't eman that we all have to sit in the same room
[12:16] ton:  so what i mean; people can also propose to have 'sessions' during the conference which are for consortium partners only
[12:17] ton:  before deciding on the thursday, i would like to see in (email) what exactly targets are for us then
[12:17] ton:  now i shut up  :) 
[12:18] Gert:  Emil Purple news?
[12:18] emil: oh
[12:19] emil: well.. news and news, he
[12:19] emil: I've started development work on purple, but it's taking time
[12:19] emil: I think a deadline is in october, but feel it's not quite "correct", since I didn't start working on it on day 1 of the project
[12:20] emil: so seven months of Purple development is not "month seven of the project"
[12:20] emil: I do have a fair idea of what I'm doing, although there is much design and implementation work still to be done
[12:20] Gert:  I think we have to adjust the deadline but it owuld be nice to have some teasers for the blender conference
[12:20] ton:  yah, we already agreed (i thought) that this should be able to take untl end of 2005
[12:20] emil: I'm trying to find some kind of incremental approach, where I can add functionalty in very small steps
[12:21] emil: the code for Purple is in CVS on blender.org, and that is the live repository against which I do all work
[12:21] ton:  a blencon purple presentation could be nice of course
[12:21] emil: a presentation might be feasible, but I wouldn't have too high hopes of a *demonstration*
[12:21] emil: especially considering there is no UI  :) 
[12:21] ton:  and make a half page as 'paper' to include in schedule
[12:22] ton:  we want to have a printed booklet for conference
[12:22] ton:  plus all online
[12:22] eskilsteenberg:  We will be able to talk to people and to be able to invite people and show thet code is beeing written.
[12:22] ton:  yeah lotsof occasions for informal showcase too
[12:23] Gert:  OK thanks Emil and Eskil!
[12:23] emil: well... not at all sure how demo:able Purple will be at the conf
[12:23] emil: I don't think text-only tty output wows that many people, these days  :) 
[12:23] Gert:  OK maybe better to wait with the demo!
[12:23] ton:  i propose to have a good illustration/demo of verse in general
[12:24] ton:  and after that give some slides what purple ideas are
[12:24] eskilsteenberg:  I will have lits of tools to show.
[12:24] ton:  good  :) 
[12:24] ton:  /me adds a 5th day to conference for eskil!
[12:24] emil: "some slides" of purple sure sounds reasoable and doable, of course
[12:25] Gert:  OK Next PCC Marratech meeting
[12:25] eskilsteenberg:   ;-) 
[12:25] Marcus:  if we would have a pcc meeting in october - do we really need another video meeting?
[12:26] Gert:  Maybe not?
[12:26] Marcus:  thats just 2 month
[12:26] Gert:  What do you say?
[12:26] ton:  next pcc in amsterdam. then online in december again?
[12:26] Marcus:  maybe that way
[12:27] emil: better make it early december, then... or perhaps even november, as follow-up to IRL meeting
[12:27] ton:  and we also expect invitation to fraunhofer once  :) 
[12:27] Marcus:   :) 
[12:27] Gert:  OK We have the next PCC meeting at the Blender conference if nothing shows up.
[12:28] Martin:  k
[12:28] ton:  is someone living on a mountain with snow to board on?
[12:28] Marcus:  ok
