Discussion:

• 3.1 feature freeze this weekend. 
  • Kimball, how's PR #870 going?
    • Done a good pass with flipping on the code coverage and scanners.
    • A failure in the uncompressor for PXR24
    • API is there but haven’t tested the deep stuff.
    • I don’t yet know if it’s sufficient for the GPU.
  • We need docs:
    • Press release
    • Release notes
    • Documentation
    • Should add a section to the C++ API document
    • An introduction to how to restructure code to use it. Distilled wisdom.
    • Kimball, can you start a Google doc we can use to draft this verbiage? Yes.
  • Larry: Luke from Animal is working on texture benchmarks, a torture test, performance is abysmal. Neither of us have hooked up the new stuff.  Hopefully this will be a solution.
  • Would it be better to just make the changes to OIIO? 
    • Larry: That would save me from doing the same thing.
    • Initial thing should be fairly straightforward.
  • Peter: we already have two ways of reading a file, the simplified RGBA version and the full version. This is a third.
  • Does the new API offer anything for writing? Nothing, just if you want C. It’s faster, or can be faster.
  • XDR stuff is quite a bit different.
• Imath release, with optimized half. We should just proceed.
• Cmake option to compile in the tables, since the tables can be too large.
• Have made the code safe.
• If someone hasn’t updated Imath it will still work.
• Open Source Days
• Spectral data? Kimbal: the Manuka team said, "Ah, sweet, can we add this and that!” But would require a file change.
• Joseph: Standard Optional Attributes:
• I’d been trying to get the attributes that are defined in the ACES Container File into the standard list.
• Also virtual production ones.
• Then pulled the whole thing. There it sat.
• Over the past week, we flipped from a state where some of us were pushing to get changes made, to a pull.
• John Levin @ ILM: “this is insane, stuff is coming in with inconsistent names.”
• John Knoll inquired about standards with Dave Stumpf @ASC 
• Came up with strategy: bypass SMPTE entirely, refine it with input from various studios. 
• Not about code review, it’s about semantics.
• Can use the PR process to host the discussion. One PR for each attribute/chunk.
• Nick: Use a feature branch
• Talk to Mike Min at Netflix, has a working group focusing on Camera metadata. He wants metadata in OTIO. 
• "If we use a term, it has the same semantics."
• Nick: There should be a schema. So the data can be carried and not lost.
