Discussion:

  • TAC Project Update next meeting, Dec 14. Review the slide deck:

  •  

    • Profile of project and community

    • Graphs of commit/PR reviews, TSC vs. non-TSC

    • Larry: I’m surprised I rank that highly

    • Cary: You approve a ton of PR’s

    • Larry: but they’re all small

    • Cary: so a PR isn’t a consistent unit of technical substance, but sow what.

    • Larry: We were good about some things early on like Sonarcloud, but they’ve fallen by the wayside, coverage has declined.

    • Kimball: I had the core at 90% coverage, but it’s slipped.

    • Cary: Would be good to include stats for issue comments, although it’s like similar to PR’s

    • Roadmap:

    •  

      • Similar to project ideas, but we need a timeline.

      • Should break the slides into a backlog of ideas vs. what we plan in the next 12 months.

      • Kimball: C++/Core integration: Have made some steps towards it. Need to restart. What I have is not what we should do. Should delete half of what I’ve done, but do what Larry was talking about first.

      • Need entry on ABI compatible. Which has dependencies on Imath. Lessening the impact on changes between VFX platform years.

      • Should call out issues where we’d like contributions from the community.

      • Kimball: Yes, like the threadpool stuff. I would love someone to submit a PR that does at configurable threadpool/workerpool.

      • Peter: call out which things are file format changes vs. ABI change

      • Contributions that don’t require ABI change or format, they’re easier

      • Wave says there are changes at Apple that haven’t made it back to us.

      • We should mention Aras, not on TSC, but he made an analysis that was very useful. Should mention him.

      • Joseph: By 2023/24 hope to bring something back from SMPTE re standard attributes

  • Pkg-config issue

  •  

    • Nick: I got confused

    • Kimball: should make it a config option

    • Peter: Confusion in the terminology. Relative to where the file is, or relative to a variable?
