Need to add reference to Philippe Lafrance as co-author, he wrote the docs as a part of the Weta tools, “how to write Deep nodes.” Was meaning to add the example code generation examples.
Should have a note to the relationship with Cryptomatte. We’re suggesting people switch from Cryptomatte to this.
Nuke parses the json every time you move the mouse

Haven’t had time to track down the compression bug in Core
Another bug: I didn’t realize how strong the requirement is that the channels be alphabetically ordered. I accidentally shipped a version of the USD where the channels got flopped.
Peter: the file has to have them ordered.
Nick: I thought we just suggest they’re in order
Peter: The C++ API requires them to be in order because it uses a map to store them. The framebuffer mechanism stores them in whatever order but alphabetizes them as you write.

Website builder needs exrheader, but on Windows, it needs exrheader.exe. But really it would be better to convert them images and store them.
Peter: two cmake targets, one to do the conversion, then commit the generated files to the repo, then another to build the website.
We have a Christmas party next week with local startup studios and media companies in the Vancouver area. Most people don’t know about OpenEXR and ASWF. Is there a publicity slide deck?
A local Canadian university professor talked to me about collaborting on projects, they have money they don’t know how to spend. Could the ASWF collaborate?
Google scholar search for “openexr”. Lots of examples of academic references to OpenEXR!
Nick: invite the authors to the meeting?
Peter: or invite them to the email/slack.
Peter: Could write a survey paper about usage of OpenEXR
