Meeting: Jan 8

[Lokathor]

Topics:

• Something like Steam Controller or OpenXR for Rust?

• thread pool API related work (@kabergstrom, @msiglreith)
  • @Wodann to collect use cases.
  • Prototyping repo: https://github.com/rust-gamedev/thread-pool-api-prototypes
• Allocator progress: @jaynus will hopefully have updates of comparing the unstable Alloc trait in the Nightly standard library with the AllocRef trait in the alloc-wg repos.
• Would amethyst foundation be a sponsor for the arewegameyet domains? (@Wodann) Transfer ownership of arewegameyet to gamedev wg #64
• Ask @erlend-sh whether we can help with the survey (champion: @Wodann) Planning a survey for Rust game developers #21
• Final call to add new members to wg (champion: @Wodann)
• Ask people what is a good time to hold the meeting in general to increase the number of people that consistently participate? (champion: @Lokathor)

The next meeting would have been on Dec 25th but that seems unrealistic. Would an alternate day be better in that area or should we just skip that week?

[AlexEne]

I think skipping is the best idea. My schedule doesn't allow me to attend anyway but I think it would be good work-life balance decision :)

[Wodann]

As per the biweekly cadence, the next meeting should be today.
