You can review the full meeting notes (& access the link to the recording) from this meeting.

Below is a brief summary of topics discussed:

General Project Updates

  • Repository Management
    • The aces_container repository has been archived.
    • The idt-calculator will be moved to the ACES ASWF organization with some changes:
      • The beta web version will be taken down for now.
      • Documentation will be updated to support local builds and PyPI usage.
      • Known issues will be clearly documented.
  • Project Roadmap
    • A GitHub-based roadmap has been started using umbrella issues to track high level project priorities.
    • Work is ongoing to gain permissions to make this publicly visible.
  • Repository Automation
    • New proposed GitHub Actions will improve synchronization between repositories and reduce manual maintenance.
    • Additional automation (e.g., changelogs and metadata updates) is planned.
  • Release Planning
    • Open questions remain around:
      • What constitutes an “official” release vs. the full set of transforms
      • How release contents are communicated
      • Release cadence

AMF / Python Libraries Initiative

  • Progress continues on new Python tools to support transform management and AMF workflows.
  • Early discussions around improving alignment of ACES release contents with OCIO configs are underway.

“Technical” LMT Initiative

  • Ongoing exploration of tone and color adjustments made in the LMT block with ACES 2.0.
  • Specific use case - primarily targeted for applications where a contrast more akin to ACES 1 is desirable, while still preserving the other benefits of ACES 2. Not intended to reproduce ACES 1 exactly.
  • An OCIO config with LMT options may be shared for testing soon.

Next meeting: Tuesday, March 31
