Agenda

Notes

  • Great ASWF Open Source Days presentation and meeting.

  • Take away: Lot of interest.

  • Confusion WRT interaction with existing projects, i.e. OpenImageIO.

    • We should not double functionality for the sake of it.

  • Design is intended to be modular, e.g. swapping/using different raw processing engine, e.g. Rawspeed, Libraw, ARRI SDK, etc...

  • New code will go into a main branch, old code will stay as master and ultimately moved to a legacy-like branch.

  • Need to create the repo for spectral data.

    • TODO: Alex to initiate the process.
