[sc-dev] sc-dev Meeting Minutes
Hey all,
The next meeting is planned for the weekend of October 31-November 1. A meeting time poll will be sent out early in the week. If you'd like to attend but our usual meeting times aren't good for you, respond to this thread or email me privately and we'll try to work something out! We are always interested in getting new people involved in the development community.
Regards,
Brian

- planning to release before the end of the year
- already have enough to do a release
- #5081 is a nice-to-have
- maybe Bela support if it starts moving forward soon
- pair/group code review sessions
- informal group call to review PRs together
- did first one last week with Brian, Gianluca, James S
- should have someone else besides Brian "driving" next time (next weekend probably)
- send out an announce/invite to more channels if the next one goes well
- big list/board/prioritization
- want to have some way to organize top-level issues/projects/concerns
- where to put it?
- Discourse vs Github projects vs Github wikis vs other places?
- milestones? make it easier to see what goes into what release
- hard to use tools GitHub gives us to manage project easily
- look into bots for automation? / external integration
- maybe even a new GitHub repo for "meta-issues" / organization?
- agreed to dump into a wiki page for now and see how that works out
- Bela
- discussed merge of Bela into SC and the difficulties involved -- everyone wants it, just takes some time
- Gianluca and Patrick offered to help with the merge & testing
- CI job is probably possible since it can be cross-compiled
- help browser
- Marcin suggested it might be possible to avoid using QtWebEngine for the help browser by using a text view instead
- discussed some possible implementation issues

Present: Marcin, Brian, James S, Gianluca
* General greenfield question: what might a version 4 look like?
* We release breaking changes every minor release - it doesn't follow semantic verisoning, should we already be on version 4 etc.?
* When we're next able to discuss big things, this would be on the list.
* Backwards compat and deprecations
* A very positive feature
* However, potentially leads to stagnation and unclear/confusing features
* Concerns about removing deprecations: in particular `asInt`.
* Xcode 11 build issues
* Marcin + Brian tried to diagnose a segfault with a non-legacy xcode11 build, still investigating
* 3.11.2
* Lots of CI work to figure out first, including the Xcode 11 things
* Discussion on reviewing existing PRs
However people are able to contribute to the project, in whatever capacity they are able to, is massively appreciated.
We're all very grateful for any work people are doing towards the project, particularly during these times.
* Can we do pair-programming and/or group programming sessions? Paired reviews? With the goal of tackling larger/more complex things and sharing workload as well as knowledge and experiences about various sections/aspects of the project.
* Discussion around signing and notarisation
* Questions about how CMake handles signing
### Actions
* Marcin and Brian will continue to work together on the Xcode 11 issues
* Try to plan paired/group reviews for next week
