Minutes
- Action item follow-up [0:05-0:30]
- Contribution license on front page of wg-usd (Cory)
- Wiki categories (Cory)
- Samples area in the repo (Cory)
- Wiki/Samples
- Provisioning Confluence, as github wiki pages have an overall flat organization that provides hierarchy through manually customizing sidebars.
- Confluence provides better support for hierarchy/structuring pages, more conducive to the structure of a KB.
- It is possible to edit the wg-usd wiki without having to be a member of the ASWF github org.
- Members encouraged, as time allows, to begin adding content to the wg-usd wiki. Once Confluence is available, we can migrate the content over.
- Samples area at the root of the wg-usd repository is now open for additions. Any new files there should have associated explanation/docs in the KB.
- USD CI
- Aloys: could create a new USD PR upon which GPU-based CI in GitHub Actions could be based.
- Solution would be linux-only, and may require a lightweight project under the ASWF github org to handle authentication for the ASWF GH actions infrastructure (AWS).
- Extending builds/testing to other platforms (Windows/Mac) is a current topic of conversation in the ASWF CI WG. The outcomes developed by the CIWG could benefit USD Windows/Mac CI.
- Miscellaneous topics
- NVidia Binary Downloads (BenC-H)
- BenC-H: There doesn’t appear to be any user documentation for the binary downloads on the NVidia website.
- Kass: Please let me know what might be useful, and I can make sure that gets added.
- USD Interest Summary Newsletter (Alexander Schwank)
- From the wg-usd slack, it would be great if we could produce a summary of issues/threads for usd-interest and post it back to that alias for the benefit of the community.
- IPython/Jupyter Notebooks (JT)
- See research link in the reference section below.
- CMake Superbuilds (Carson)
- Carson: would superbuilds be of use to the community? See reference link below to understand what a superbuild is.
- General sentiment in the group is that it would be interesting to look at, relative to the python script currently used to build USD.
- Carson to make this available.
- Closing/Action Items [0:30-0:35]
- Track confluence provisioning, notify group when it’s available (Cory)
- USD PR for GH actions (Aloys)
- Proposal for USD Interest summary of threads (Alexander)
- CMake Superbuilds (Carson)
