We start by welcoming Velfet; from Serbia. We talk about topics. They've started by looking into the code and getting familar with how things work. We share advice.
Mikekov; Is back to working on the object properties dialog. Will be presenting at the Summit and will hopefully get something deliverable.
Jonthan; Announces that he will be stepping away from Inkscape after the Nuerumberg Summit. He's also been working Illustrator work and waiting for GSoC.
Tav; Has been working on context-fill and context-stroke issues in rendering and PDF export. Martin has also been working on context work for the new PDF output.
Willy; Has got his first feature merged this week. Congratulations! A new settings component which allows a folder to be changed and opened. Has added a new async method for checking if files are valid.
Elendil; Has been traveling.
Martin; capypdf work and getting frustrated with the CI build system.
We talked briefly about the OPSOSL situation and that the PLC is working with the SFC about solving it.
We worked on merge requests for 20 minutes, reviewing tricky code requests. Big thanks to everyone!
We talked about the introduction of an AI policy in the developer team. We want to know if the quality of contributions will impact review time.
Martin brought the question of the roadmap team. He's collecting feedback in order to put together a proposal which can encapsulate the guardrails of what a team would do, and what it's limitations would be. It would involve meeting at least quarterly, and not being a closed team that made up all of the ideas itself, but would instead be responsible for sourcing and combining the ideas in our community into a roadmap. He's asked everyone to think about it and get back to him if they have ideas or want to talk further.
Thanks everyone for coming to this week's meeting.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
