Raw log

• [6:05 AM] Andrew Maitland: Welcome to the PCGen Board of Director's Meeting for March 31st 2018.
• [6:06 AM] Andrew Maitland: Agenda:1) Team Reports (10 minutes)
• 2) Tom's Roadblocks Update (35 minutes)
• 3) Public Q&A (5 minutes)
• [6:06 AM] Andrew Maitland: @PaulGrosse would you like to give an update for PR?
• [6:07 AM] Paul Grosse: Lets see, since the last meeting all sources that were deemed complete and submitted for license review were cleared. One book by Legendary Games was decided it needed more work.
• [6:08 AM] Paul Grosse: Andrew and I are continuing to keep up with the various media fronts for PCGen, FB, forums, reddit, twitter, etc.
• [6:09 AM] Paul Grosse: If anyone has any cons coming up that they want to represent PCGen at, or leave some flyers on a swag table let me know
• [6:10 AM] Paul Grosse: I think that's about it
• [6:10 AM] Paul Grosse: Any questions?
• [6:10 AM] Andrew Maitland: None from me, thanks Paul!
• [6:11 AM] Andrew Maitland: Okay, content report -
• [6:12 AM] Andrew Maitland: Been working on mainly bug fixes found in the newer releases that were put out in 6.07.07. Thanks to our community who catch issues and report them.
• [6:13 AM] Andrew Maitland: I've done a lot of conversion to the new formula system with Starfinder, as that is a nice new game system with minimal files to change.
• [6:14 AM] Andrew Maitland: I'll be including that for the upcoming 6.07.08 (Tonight if all goes well)
• [6:14 AM] Paul Grosse: Did the Windows installer get worked out?
• [6:14 AM] Andrew Maitland: Our last release had issues with the Windows Installer. I have been working with Javier to get that hammered out.
• [6:15 AM] Andrew Maitland: I'll be testing his efforts to see where we land. And get those included if they work properly (He also included the build testing for Mac, so we have two distinct build tests - Linux and Mac).
• [6:16 AM] Paul Grosse: Yea!
• [6:16 AM] Andrew Maitland: The end goal is to have our CI actually build the release so it is consistent every time.
• [6:17 AM] Andrew Maitland: We've discovered a "break PCGen" bug with temporary bonuses and the javascript in Eddy's Fantasy Character Sheet (Character Tab Only)
• [6:18 AM] Andrew Maitland: Due to that, I'm afraid I'll have to pull it, until we can fix the javascript (Handles Rolling Dice)
• [6:20 AM] Andrew Maitland: Questions for Content?
• [6:20 AM] Paul Grosse: Want me to see if Eddy wants to take a look at it?
• [6:20 AM] Andrew Maitland: Yes please.
• [6:22 AM] Andrew Maitland: For Code -
• [6:24 AM] Andrew Maitland: Tom has not indicated he is ready to go Beta, he indicated he had about 3 more PR's that had to be merged in a specific order and conflicts resolved before Code would be ready to switch.
• [6:25 AM] Andrew Maitland: Tonight's release will be an Alpha as a result, and then the next release after should be a Beta. Gated upon Code giving the green light.
• [6:26 AM] Andrew Maitland: Any questions for the release/code portion?
• [6:27 AM] Paul Grosse: Not from I
• [6:28 AM] Andrew Maitland: Okay, well, I've covered Agenda #1 and #2, so that leaves us with #3 Public Forums.
• [6:28 AM] Andrew Maitland: Open Discussion time - Any questions for the Board of Directors from anyone?
• [6:29 AM] Andrew Maitland: Doug, David, or William?
• [6:29 AM] Papa (aka David Bender): not from I
• [6:29 AM] William L: I for one just want to say thank you to you folks and every one involved
