Minutes

Meeting called to order at 11am EDT

Organizational Matters

  • Website update: 

    • Should be ready for review by EOD today https://openfx.dev-lfprojects3.linuxfoundation.org/

    • Still need to complete the bottom part but that should be ready within the next few hours.

    • Top menu links don't work yet

    • Please take a look. Substantive comments only though please (incorrect or missing info etc.). I want to get this launched; we can always improve later. If you have higher res logos please submit them to me ASAP. (Could someone contact BMD?) Also Foundry?

      • Maybe these should be links

  • Gary has reached out to all recent contributors to see if anyone wants to get more involved -- nothing so far

  • Recap of Open Source Days Town Hall (went OK; 15 people or so, some new faces, maybe curious) – presentation was perceived as good

  • CI and Conancenter: _please review_ so I can merge this! Then I can start on a conancenter upload and we can discuss making this 1.5.

  • Ticket triage and code review: please dig in and help here.

Technical Matters

  • Discussion of color, led by J-P

    • Pierre said Resolve would create something to list CIE observer space and white point - he will reach out to them

    • J-P says Resolve would prefer a custom mode: linear with primaries & white points, they're going to submit a proposal. J-P will ping them.

    • Pierre mentioned that ACES cg config is of interest to MaterialX folks even though it's very limited (no broadcast HDR) -- scene linear and a few others

    • Flame folks: what's your interest in this?

      • Flame does not use OCIO (v2 is on their radar though)

      • If there is a colorspace extension that's easy for them, they would be willing to investigate

  • GPU: Alexandre is working on using GPU extension with Metal buffers and textures in Red Giant

  •  

    • They would prefer textures

  • Greg Cotten was here listening & learning, writing plugins

  •  

    • Wishes cross-host support would be easier, e.g. GPU extensions with 1.5

    • Resolve is their biggest host, then Baselight, but Baselight is a very complicated host because it creates & deletes plugin instances

  • J-P mentioned the idea of a compute cache -- data blobs referenced by string

  • Pierre mentioned the idea of a "general suite" that plugins could create and hosts would manage

Misc

Meeting adjourned at 11:55am EDT
