Current Release: 2.79
=====================

We will need (a) release, but no rush so far.

Next Release: 2.8
=================

* We have a design in place:
  https://code.blender.org/2017/10/blender-2-8-design-document/

* Now the development team will prepare an attack plan for the
  different projects. Similar to Eevee's roadmap.

* Hero production starts soon. Grease Pencil branch to be sent for
  review no later than next week.

User Interface
==============

* The UI team is kindly requested to join forces and give a treatment
  on top of the published 2.8 design document.

* <NAME> is already working on it - his mockups can be found
  at: https://pablovazquez.art/ui/

* Julian Eisel will write to bf-interface mailing list to propose
  meeting in irc.

Other Projects
==============

* The studio of blender institute is going to announce a new open
  movie that will use 2.8. Production will take most of 1st half 2018.

* Two new full-time coders will be required at the institute.

* "This week in Blender dev": <NAME> and <NAME> have
  been working on experimental weekly report. Anyone interested on
  helping, reply to email on bf-committers.

  https://thisweekinblenderdev.github.io/2017-10-07.html

* "Project admins and module owners update": not much feedback so far,
  so we assume everyone is happy with it. But further, module teams need
  to be updated (in the wiki page).

  https://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-committers/2017-October/048832.html

* Google Summer of Code mentor summit: <NAME> will be
  attending it next week. Anything to bring up just tell him.
