17:41.43 brlcad amritpal: hello back :)
17:42.12 amritpal brlcad, hi
17:43.17 amritpal brlcad, can I create a task that is related to my GSoC project (FreeCAD)? I have more experience in FreeCAD than BRL-CAD.
18:14.16 brlcad amritpal: there really wasn't enough mentoring support to handle coding tasks across different projects -- remember that these are kids with no experience, so even downloading becomes a task
18:14.33 brlcad we tried having separate instructions last year (when there was more mentoring support) and it did not go very well
18:14.43 brlcad very confusing for the kids
18:15.03 brlcad it may be possible if we can fit freecad onto the VM image without it getting too big
18:15.11 brlcad certainly possible to have non-coding tasks too
18:19.48 amritpal brlcad, how can I contribute then?
18:35.48 brlcad amritpal: how about interoperability tasks?
18:35.58 brlcad or design tasks specific to freecad
18:36.05 brlcad or documentation
18:36.47 brlcad e.g., "write a tutorial where you model a box in freecad and import it into brl-cad"
18:36.50 brlcad and then the reverse
18:37.20 brlcad maybe have them design an icon set
18:37.24 brlcad lots of possibilities
18:38.22 amritpal brlcad, yeah, let me brainstorming on these ideas.
18:39.39 brlcad oh, here's a possible idea that yorik mentioned a while ago
18:39.55 brlcad a bit of an advanced set of tasks, but possible if you can break it up
18:40.58 brlcad basically, have them create a BRL-CAD Benchmark in FreeCAD -- that way the target is clearly advanced students that already got over compilation hurdles
18:41.20 brlcad er, I mean a Workbench
18:41.53 brlcad similar to OpenSCAD's https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Workbenches

23:45.58 Notify 03BRL-CAD:n_reed * 70397 brlcad/trunk/src/libdm/dm-wgl.c: Make mged screengrab command work on Windows. Just a matter of copying the ogl implementation of the dm_getDisplayImage callback to wgl and setting the corresponding dm_wgl function pointer. The ogl implementation seems to have been written to work for both ogl and wgl from day one. What possibly happened was that since all the dm specific callbacks are
23:46.00 Notify private functions, there was no way to register the ogl function in the wgl callback table, so the wgl callback was just left null pending some refactoring that never ended up happening.
