OCIO Configs Working Group Meeting Notes

  • Caching & Cache IDs

    • Remi has a PR for changing the hash library to xxhash

    • Kevin: how do we validate that the internal one is an exact replica of a config on disk

    • Thomas: using the git hash right now for the config generation.

    • Doug: updating OCIO check to print the config cache ID.

    • Need a functional way to compare, not an overall config hash of the yaml which would change if say,  a comment changed.

    • With a full cache ID check, we could create our own regression checks which could be used for versioning 

    • Is a binary check enough, though? 

    • Next steps:

      • Documentation to follow up the config releases - what they are, how to modify them, things to look out for

  • Open Source Days

    • What do we want to release at Open Source Days?

      • Want to release versions of all of them, with the emphasis that 

    • Full versions or betas?

    • It's in a pretty good place code wise except for the spreadsheet - need the mappings for the Studio config

    • Need to re-do naming for the CG config with new guidelines (i.e. family not in colorspace name)

    • Carol to ping camera vendors (Panasonic, Sony, Canon) and if we don't hear back before next config WG meeting, we will make the CLFs/PRs ourselves for release

  • Spreadsheet working session:

    • Some columns are placeholders - categories are currently families, etc

    • Need to have a proper family column

    • Update aliases (currently legacy) if needed

    • Needs to match the CG spreadsheet as much as possible - Thomas will take a first pass by end of this week



ToDos:

  • Carol to follow up with Camera vendors

  • Doug to create Blackmagic PR and update RED path structure

  • Thomas to modify CG config spreadsheet with new proposed naming structure and regenerate for review

  • Thomas to take a first pass at organizing studio config spreadsheet and Doug, Carol, rest of config WG to review and fill in where needed
