1) Migration to git & phabricator

- Everything is smooth and working! Last remaining issues are here:
http://developer.blender.org/project/view/31/

- We need a good doc for Windows git tortoise users. Especially how ssh keys work. Thomas Dinges volunteers to write it here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Building_Blender/Windows

2) Projects for 2.70

- Alexander Pinzof added his GSoC work for Laplacian deform modifier:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.70/Modeling

- Thomas Beck works on a wireframe modifier, based on Campbell Barton's mesh operator. A doc and patch will be published soon.

- Meeting discussed whether we should enable "templates" for startup, or enable having multiple startup.blends to choose from. There are simple solutions for it, but Brecht van Lommel prefers to work on something good. It's related to our asset browsing project as well. On hold for further investigation.

- Bastien Montagne works on removing last radians from UI (so UI is degrees everywhere). Note that in code, radians are the default.

1) 2.70 targets and planning

- Updated the wiki planning page:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Projects

- Brecht van Lommel: will check on Cycles volume render work, probably as 'experimental feature' in next release though

- Stuart Broadfoot: will work on ambient occlusion value node, and help on volumetrics.

- Jonathan Williamson & Brecht: work on new keymap default is moving on, not sure how complete the new default for release would be for release... the idea is to make it as minimal as possible, so it can be efficiently customized.

- Jonathan is still looking for a maintainer for default Maya and Max keymaps, contact him to volunteer!

- Antonis Riakiotakis works on C code support for pie menus, the basic architecture to manage and draw them (in UI style, Themes, DPI, etc control).

2) Other projects

- Alembic testing by Lukas Toenne:
http://developer.blender.org/T37578

- Ton Roosendaal: as announced at the Blender Conference, we are going to get a very nice EU Media subsidy in 2014. This will support the existing developers better, and allow us to add two new people in the paid support team.
Media budget is mainly meant to support film production environments, like asset management, and physics+animation systems (hair, cloth included). Full report (with names) will be online in a week.

1) Planning and targets for next 2.70 release

- Target and planning list:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Doc/Projects

- Proposal is to keep "BCon1" for one more week.

- Sergey Sharbyin thinks his GSoC branch (threaded object update) will be mostly OK for inclusing in 2.70.

- Brecht van Lommel has picked up development for Volume render, but will spend next week mostly on reviewing and bug tracker.

- Thomas Dinges: all platforms have been updated to OpenImageIO 1.3.9 and OSL 1.4.0

- Windows XP discussion: Meeting agrees on waiting two more releases before deciding to drop it. However, the fact we might drop support mid 2014 can be listed on the d/l page.

2) Other projects

- Ton Roosendaal mentions shortly that work for Gooseberry (next open movie) is going to start next year, on topics such as CMS and Asset management and the animation/physics system (particles, fur, hair, cloth, nature, massive/crowd sims). Info is going to be public this month hopefully. Working on it!

personnellement je trouve étonnant d’arrêter le support de windows XP a la 2.72 au lieu de la 2.70, alors qu'il avait été dit que les incompatibilités majeures devaient avoir lieu pour les versions majeures. je ne vois pas trop en quoi quelques mois de plus vont changer quoi que ce soit, mais tant qu'a supprimer windows XP des compatibilités, autant le faire au passage à la 2.70 non ?
