OCIO - Path Forward
Sean Cooper <se...@...>
Hello all, and happy new year! I'd like to start a formal discussion around the steps we will take to give OCIO a breath of life. Hopefully we can work to make 2017 a year of progress. So in that spirit I'd like to layout a general game plan for comment and discussion. General Notes:
Game Plan:
Please join me in conversation about the future of OCIO! All of the above is open to suggestion and critique. Sean |

On a practical "get things done with the library" sense, it would be excellent to deal with OCIO for colour managing UI elements. Having spent plenty of time ramming into the problems, I believe that can be elegantly accomplished by: A) Providing metadata on the chromaticities for each Display cluster, or possibly per View? B) Providing metadata on the reference chromaticities. C) Provide some form of metadata that differentiates the transfer function portion of a view transform from any other colorimetric transforms. This would be needed for colour pickers and other things, where one needs to know the colorimetry of the reference and the destination, as well as how to apply *only* the transfer function to the UI element, post transform. Gradient UIs, color pickers, coloured sliders, etc. Many transforms are going to be of the transfer function variety, and it makes sense to tackle UI in the least invasive manner possible, hence limiting the metadata to the fewest possible areas makes sense? Per transform seems overkill unless a sane metadata structure can be arrived at that wraps up the needs. With respect, TJS |

Troy, would you be able to wrap this into an Issue on GH? With the coming addition of labels, this will be classified as a feature request. On Wed, Jan 11, 2017 at 5:03 PM, Troy Sobotka <troy.s...@...> wrote:

This all sounds good to me! I would be happy to help out auditing/tagging the issues in GitHub. The current labels seem fairly reasonable to me - "feature" for new things, "bug" for bugs, internal for non-user-impacting things, a label to flag API breaking changes, and "deferred" for future things. I'd probably add tags for performance improvements, docs, and build related issues. Then along side these, maybe tags for tag "easy" quick-to-fix issues, low/high priority tags) Regarding CI, There is a pull request to fix up the TravisCI config (#415). It would also be worth investigating Appveyor to test on Windows also Sent from my phone On 12 Jan 2017, at 11:12, Sean Cooper <se...@...> wrote:

Thanks, yeah I should have linked the PR in the post. I'll try and get more eyes on that to test, though I'm sure it's fine, then we can pull that through to get things kicked off. As for Labels, I'd just like to get a better organizational structure that guides users attention a little better. My gut feeling is pushing towards a slimmed down version of this: https://medium.com/@dave_lunny/sane-github-labels-c5d2e6004b63#.3kx74xshg |

Here is a form to get an invite for the OpenColorIO Slack channel, I'll add them manually from there. We're looking to keep it to the smaller group of core owners/contributors, though feel free to invite whomever you think would help the cause! https://goo.gl/forms/Lq9buvEJg2qzJzq03 |

You probably have to move the file to your personal gmail. Google docs are not view-able outside of our domain either. On Thu, Jan 12, 2017 at 3:38 PM, Deke Kincaid <dekek...@...> wrote:

On the CI front I can provide windows Linux and mac systems plus Jenkins if you want. On Fri., 13 Jan. 2017 at 1:40 am, Sean Cooper <se...@...> wrote:

@ben, though iId look into the other contributors opinion on TravisCI vs. Jenkins On Mon, Jan 16, 2017 at 12:37 PM, Sean Cooper <se...@...> wrote:

I don't have any Jenkins experience, but Travis is pretty straightforward and I've really come to rely on it for my open source projects. It's a big boost to know before you merge something that it's been built and passes tests on a matrix of several platforms, compilers, and build options. Well worth the time investment to get it set up. Appveyor is also helpful as the rough equivalent on Windows.

Absolutely pick the best thing, the only real benefit to what I am providing is I can give you exactly the environment that you want if its not provided by one of the cloudy tools. I don't believe any of them supported OSX. Its would be running on my virtual CI infrastructure. On 16 January 2017 at 23:52, Larry Gritz <l...@...> wrote:

TravisCI supports OSX and Linux.
