August team coordination

Primary text.
I'm open to experimenting with the voice/video functionality in discord vs just text-based IRC style. Let's keep in mind that, people are often uncomfortable to use voice or have network issues though.

Agenda

We've had a lot of new volunteers, and a lot of new ideas over the past 2-3 weeks.

Following the discussions on the chat and issues, it looks like everyone's moving on a random direction at this point, and it's a bit hard to agree on anything.

I think it'd make sense for all of us to be around discord on Friday, 2nd of august, and discuss what everyone wants to do, and figure out some common goals we can coordinate on.

From my todo list

[x] Coordinate R7 release. Should happen this weekend. See #571
[ ] Getting started guide for contribs (#1102), further project documentation
[ ] We need a designer. I have a reference, I will follow up and report by friday. (I figured, since no one else is willing to propose a day/time, I'll just go ahead and propose one?)
[ ] Code formatting (#1240)
[ ] FPGA update (is the board out yet?)

I need a place to put my todos

[ ] Follow up #1225
[ ] Collaboration / Merging to master etc. / How to work effectively within the team
[ ] Code of Conduct
[ ] Legal entity update

I'm sorry, but I can't participate this friday. However I don't want to play that big of a role developing reicast an just contribute from time to time as my spare time allows. I'm also not that experienced in C(++) so it will be most likely the small parts that I'll contribute to.

baka0815 commented 5 years ago

Are there any results worth sharing?

skmp commented 5 years ago

I guess I should do that today. Are you on slack, @baka0815 ?

baka0815 commented 5 years ago

@skmp Yes, I am (just created an account, haven't used before): slack-at-baka0815.de

pold500 commented 5 years ago

I'm available via discord. (JayD)

skmp commented 5 years ago

@baka0815 err sorry, my bad, I meant discord*. I keep forgetting we have moved out from slack. (See http://chat.reicast.com)

skmp commented 5 years ago

So, here are a few updates

Released r7 (see https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator/releases/tag/r7)
Decided next releases will be on Aug 20th, Sept 8th. Let's make sure master is in a great shape in these days.
Decided will auto-tag beta at 25th of each month, and auto-tag release at 8th of each month.

Looks like I kann kill my slack account. :D Don't have a Discord account yet, will create one in the upcoming days.

@skmp , reicast on android has improved a lot, the advance that has had since the creation of the beta tester system is incredible, I believe that when I can do the graph for 1x, 2x, 3x .... will be definitive and solve the problems of bugs graphics, I have impression that they occur due to a very high demand on the GPU. A hug and success always.

skmp commented 5 years ago

@spielvan thanks for the kind words! The truth is, almost all of the fixes have been contributions from others, so the kidos goes to them. I’m just trying to make it easy to get involved with the project :)

@skmp Congratulations on the reicast port for the retroarch android 32bits, I already got the core for my retroarch 1.7.3 "Reicast 0.1 689e21a", so that gave a problem, when I load a game, which usually squeezes into the reicast separate version of the retroarch, it loads the dreamcast bios normally, but when it goes to load the game, it closes the retroarch and goes to the android tv box.

While I appreciate the response, I have to ask to please don't emburden upstream authors with these questions about the libretro core, they don't like being emburdened with these kind of questions. You should direct them at us instead. It can be done at Discord or our forums.

spielvan commented 5 years ago

@twinaphex I'm sorry, I was so excited about the news that I had not even noticed this detail, I'll post it on the retroarch forum.

inactive123 commented 5 years ago

@spielvan No problem.
