May 17, 2009 Developer Meeting

On 5/17/2009 we had a developer meeting. These minutes are meant to supplement the slides that were presented, so make sure you check them out: Slides

Status

• 1.7 is almost out the door - yay!

New Workflow

• We all seem to be in agreement that only finished 100% features can go into trunk.
• Unit testing!
• When we're ready to do a feature freeze, we cut the release branch for that release, and trunk goes onward.
• Code reviews?!?!

New Library

• Sweet

LADSPA

• Someone needs to take on this project, or else it'll never get done.
• Need to make effects apply to individual channels too. Where should we do this? EngineBuffer? EngineMaster?

MIDI 3.0

• MIDI code is still a disaster -- needs a major refactor.

Shoutcast

• mostly finished!
• need feedback loop

BPM Detection

• hard!
• needs to be 100% right
• BPMDJ -- lets use that

Sound Sources: FFMPEG and M4a

• FFMPEG
• not very friendly
• M4a
• it works
• lets finish it

Looping

Other Fun Projects

Rewrite!?!?

• We aren't going to be able to do this in the near future. It'll take really long.
• Incremental rewrites are still good.
• Should work towards Mixxx working headless
