OCIO TSC Meeting Notes

• SIGGRAPH events
  • Virtual Town Hall: Weds Aug 2 @ 8am PT, sign up here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-days/program/virtual-town-halls/
  • Open Source Days - Sun Aug 6, all day in person and virtual. Sign up here: https://events.linuxfoundation.org/open-source-days/register/
  • BoF: OCIO BoF is Monday Aug 7 @ 12pm PT. In person only, we’ll try to record but no guarantees. Notes will be taken. SIGGRAPH Schedule link: https://s2023.siggraph.org/presentation/?id=bof_194&sess=sess539
  • Color Enthusiasts Meetup - Monday evening Aug 7. Details to come on location!
• Virtual Town Hall planning & review of slides
  • Kevin - interested in looking at how we do grades within a config/library. Modeling workflow concepts, etc to possibly come together on 
  • Folks will likely ask about color processing for camera raw metadata, we will likely say out of scope for OCIO directly but willing to partner with other projects to make sure features in OCIO are complete (OIIO, rawtoaces)
  • Content seems good for the town hall, but for the BoF, should ask who is still on v1 configs and why
  • Should we do a poll during the town hall? To ask who is still on v1 configs and why?
  • Add apps supporting OCIOv2
  • Any more new integrations or other items to mention?
  • On roadmap ideas:
  • Configs section:
• BoF - working on list of topics to cover, please add others here:
  • Config/library usage v1 vs. v2 - what and why
  • Cross-project interoperability
  • Grading workflows for VFX pipelines
  • OCIO for web usage
• Status of config merging feature
  • Will be talking about the config merging feature in the town hall. Tech preview alongside of the 2.3 release in a separate branch 
  • Kevin - will it be a separate entity from the library - i.e. apphelpers? Or literally another branch of the core library
  • Doug - As with apphelpers, it would be part of OCIO library itself, but not impacting what we think of as the core. 
  • Group agrees it’s a good middle ground to get actual testing and feedback
