Marc:
GSoC, will know in a week if we have been accepted. Major issues with the windows and AppImage builds which wreck all cairo rendering and make inkscape unusable. We can't make an Alpha release until it's done.
Johnathan: - Working with pono and pushing the ai importer project, it's currently with Tracy and Karen at the SFC to sort out. - Bug project, Martin and Rafael are awaiting updates from the SFC which are also with Tracy and Karen. Rafael will be able to start work on it in a couple of weeks due to house moving. - Drafting the new Gtk4 proposal for funded work and the selection process which will involve finding the right people who can work on it.
Tav: Is still working on vertical text problems in fonts.
MikeKov: Reviewing some features and getting some fixes in.
Nicco: Very happy to experience how the team interacts and how people get some of the work done. Asked about communications preferences, Johnathan suggested doing an onboarding video chat for the AI importer project.
Chris: Vote for Hardware via PLC, Pushed forward and concluded since the vote is quite old now.
Merge Request Review (group activity):
* We looked at 3 old merge requests this week to try and push them forwards or close them. One merged, two reviewed.
Thanks everyone!
