Attendees:

  • Bastien Montagne
  • Campbell Barton
  • Dalai Felinto
  • Fiona Cohen
  • Philipp Oeser
  • Sergey Sharybin
  • Thomas Dinges

The meeting notes were not published in December, on behalf of the bf-admins, sorry.

Notes:

  • Promote Python numpy module as a hard dependency.
    • Suggested during a Core module meeting, as there are some ideas to use it as part of some ‘high level’ python API to access and manipulate attributes.
    • Already a fairly important dependency (used by Cycles and some core addons like FBX or GLTF I/O).
    • Technically, changes imply:
      • Removing CMake option.
      • Make CMake config fail when building with Python and numpy is not found.
    • Conclusion: Make it a hard dependency, when building with Python.
  • Font use for scenes (recent changes) introduced issues.
    • Dalai with check with Campbell and Harley the best course of action.
  • Role of the admins in the future: conversation to start [spoiler: see January 2025 notes).
  • OpenAPI discussion
