Our first-ever full-devel­op­er-com­mu­ni­ty meet­up was this past Sun­day, and we had excel­lent atten­dance. Thanks to every­one who joined us, and thanks to the folks at Blender, whose own mee­tups inspired the launch of ours. Over the past week we’ve squashed dozens of trans­la­tion-relat­ed bugs, as well a sev­er­al oth­er things caus­ing crash­es or bad geom­e­try. We are approach­ing a fea­ture freeze in antic­i­pa­tion of our 0.21 release, which is com­ing soon.

In this upcom­ing week:

• Google Sum­mer of Code devel­op­ers have begun meet­ing with their com­mu­ni­ty men­tors, and are solic­it­ing feed­back from every­one in the com­mu­ni­ty on their pro­posed work plans: 
  • GSoC 2023: Uni­fied Mea­sure­ment Facility
  • [GSoC 2023] On-machine Inspection
  • [GSoC 2023] UI tool for fetch­ing online content
  • [GSoC2023] Upgrade the doc­u­men­ta­tion system
• I (@chennes) am clean­ing up some topon­am­ing tests in antic­i­pa­tion of begin­ning the sec­ond TNP merge sequence.
