## Attendees

* Philipp
* Alaska
* Yiming
* Pratik

## Topics

* Announcements
* [Quality Project](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/130670) is running, how is our involvent doing?

* Pending TODOs/followups (wont get an active topic if no news have to be announced)
* Have meetings consistently every two weeks (no matter Philipps availability), no conclusion on how to organize this yet
* Ideas for ways to include "Bug Fixes" from older releases in the release notes
* We developed a [script](https://projects.blender.org/Alaska/collect_release_fixes) to assist with this, sorted some commits, and add a list of bug fixes to the [4.3 release notes](https://developer.blender.org/docs/release_notes/4.3/bugfixes/).
* To assist the script for future releases, we are encouraged to fill out the broken and working fields accurately. We are also encouraged to check:
* The current release, previous release, and all active LTS releases to fill out this information accurately. This can also help with figuring out what should be backported to LTS releases.
* The next step is to get the script into the Blender repository. Alaska will make a few minor adjustments and open a pull request for this.
* To reduce stress close to release manually sorting commits that didn't have the right information, we may run the script on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.
* Feedback regarding our triaging infrastructure
* news?
* Wizard
* Gather a list of two or three examples from "out there" that work similar to what we want to achieve (add that to https://projects.blender.org/infrastructure/blender-projects-platform/issues/78) is still pending, some more discussion in https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/121260 though regarding Richards experiments
* Could we add a feature that lets users know the location of crash logs after Blender crashes so they can more easily provide it in a bug report?
* Design task in https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/issues/128621, needs further input
* [WIP PR](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/129974)
* @Sean-Kim proposes to add "Crash" / "Regression" labels
* news?
* discussion about exposing dependency cycles to the end user (an idea we have discussed in previous meetings)
* news?

## Meeting Notes
* Ideas for ways to include "Bug Fixes" from older releases in the release notes
* Alaska will work on this a bit more and can hopefully open a PR to put this in the release tools soon.
* There has been progress on the [crash window pull request](https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/129974)
* Yimming will discuss exposing dependency cycles in the UI with other developers and create a design task for it.
* Proposal to add "Crash" / "Regression" labels
* We didn't ask other developers for their input. Alaska will try and do this before the next meeting. (a devtalk thread might make sense)
