Apologies:

  • Mark Boorer

OCIO TSC Meeting Notes

  • GitHub Actions troubles

    • VFX 2022 and earlier docker containers crash with newer Actions commands

      • 2023 and later still working

    • Sonar cloud fails trying to upload the report?

      • Might be an issue with the secrets token in the repo so we should check that

      • Doesn't seem like Doug has perms, Carol will check, otherwise we might need to check in with LF

    • Dependencies latest failing due to changes in OSL

      • OSL release 1.13 broke some of the unit tests

      • Will check in with Larry to make sure we're going about things correctly

    • Platform latest has Linux issue with no workaround, waiting for external fix

      • Disabled for now, PR in comments until it gets fixed in github issues

    • Wheels Windows failure fixed by Remi in PR #1945

      • Needed to update CI build wheel

      • Makes artifacts easier to access which is nice

    • MacOS ARM CI partially fixed by Mark in PR #1948

    • Normal CI and GPU Actions are currently successful

    • Might want to enable caching to run faster - Kevin: maybe a mono-compilation or unity build would be better

  • CLOTributor (for fyi) https://clotributor.dev/search?foundation=aswf&page=1

    • Already gotten some new contributors from it, as it's visible on the overall tool not just for ASWF

  • CUDA? https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/OpenColorIO/issues/261

    • Michael - could be useful, but not urgent. Would be in the help wanted category

    • Thomas - would CUDA be that much faster?

    • We did have a request from an application that is CUDA based, so interesting to consider

  • Continuation of TSC responsibilities discussion

    • Would emails help? Summaries of new issues etc?

    • For Remi: roadmap is priority, big priorities more visible

    • OTIO does small video updates of features and work in progress etc 

    • Might be good to redo our "project guidelines" - what do we do as OCIO, and what do we not do? As of our perspective in 2024, something that is expected to change and evolve
