Notes

Review of HPA

  • Presentation by Doug and Scott went well

  • FFMPEG integration announcement well received

ACES 2 GLES shader compilation issue

  • Github issue submitted, should ask Kevin to take a look

Review of open PRs

  • Couple easy PRs for review, please take a look if you have a few moments

  • Few bigger PRs from Kevin, we’ll take a look back at those next TSC when Kevin is present

AI coding policy

  • LLVM policy as a base, as suggested by LG: https://llvm.org/docs/AIToolPolicy.html

  • We have seen both good and not so good AI assisted PRs

  • We want to make sure we are encouraging meaningful contributions, not creating barriers to good work

  • Doug - pretty sure we’re at the point where AI is used on pretty much every piece of code. Requiring disclosure might be too much of a burden.

  • Remi - thinks disclosure is likely a good idea, just from a reviewer perspective.

  • Cuneyt - have we talked about using AI code review tools as well?

  • Carol: not as a TAC or foundation, but we could certainly try it as a project if we should so desire.

  • TSC feels that the rule around good first issues from LLVM in particular is too strict. We don’t want to discourage new contributors from learning however suits them best.

  • OCIO in general is a relatively low-volume contribution project, so would prefer to not put more process in place that isn’t strictly needed.

FFmpeg thread

https://docs.google.com/document/d/10PBSdMJfBafHLzSauFpA6NqAvKoMZ6A7E3IO_uLYIFE/edit?usp=sharing

  • Summary from thread in OCIO slack from Sam

  • Main convo is how to relate OCIO RGB space to CICP / video spaces (YUV, etc). How to do this handoff and convey it

  • Zach thinks that the handoff should assume OCIO is RGB full range data. Would be useful to map OCIO display colorspaces to a full CICP tuple in general.

  • Please review and comment, and we will post more publicly.
