# **OCIO TSC Meeting Notes**

* GPU CI investigations:
- Infrastructure is in place for GPU CI on AWS. Credentials are for
organization-wide use so all projects can benefit.
- **TODO**: Michael will work with LF releng and JF Panisset on
implementation starting this week.

* SIGGRAPH BoF:
- 30 minutes this year and virtual. With summer vacations coming up we
should have a plan in place.
- Doug: We may want to schedule a longer event to go into more detail,
could be after SIGGRAPH. Not sure if people will want to sit through full
week of online meetings. Could do 30 minute overview, and longer
"intro to v2" session after SIGGRAPH.
- Mark: Could use SIGGRAPH time to do presentation, but spin up Zoom
meeting to chat about it afterwords for an hour or two.
- Carol: Emily mentioned possibly doing Open Source Day as a separate thing
from SIGGRAPH.
- Doug: BoFs are separate from SIGGRAPH and free to all. Don't know exact
date yet, but thought it was positioned relative to the original SIGGRAPH
date.
- **TODO**: Double check with Emily whether ASWF Open Source Day will be
part of SIGGRAPH or separate, and if date is known.
- Michael: We had discussed with Emily the idea of creating some OCIO
videos. Perhaps this could intersect?
- Doug: Those videos may have been more for promotional purposes than
education. 5 minute videos. Educational video will need to be longer.
- Kevin: Is the scarce resource our time or that of people joining? People
can watch videos when they want, so the BoF room time could be used for
discussion. Usually the BoF is half presentation and half discussion.
- Michael: If we go that route, we'll need to make sure we communicate
to the community where to find the video ahead of time.
- Kevin: Could do offline presentation a week in advance, which would
result in less schedule conflicts.
- **TODO**: Determine BoF/in-depth presentation plan once more information
on Open Source Day is available.

* Pull requests:
- Patrick: Some old PRs. Are any blockers? Bernard's review is important,
but there have been open CMake and Python PRs for a while.
- Michael: I can now address feedback on CMake PR, but can't merge until
Sean has CCLA in system. This raises the point that with many initiatives
ramping up and more contributors, getting CCLAs signed will be important.
If you haven't started the process yet, it can take some time, so
recommend starting soon.
- Doug: In EasyCLA instructions, says CLA manager at company should approve
all projects, which simplifies the process for companies already
contributing to another ASWF project. The CLA manager can add a company
email domain so that anyone with a company email address can be approved.
- Mei: For Python unit test PRs, I am responding to PR comments. Working on
completing tests for transforms first.
- Michael: Feel free to open GH issues for unit tests that have not been
completed. Others can then help and we can track the overall initiative.

* New work on EGL support (#1039):
- Doug: New contributor doing work on EGL. Anyone have experience?
- Patrick: Window-system agnostic graphics APIs. On paper it's a good way
to improve GPU unit tests.
- Doug: JF proposed this originally as way to avoid Nvidia GRID licenses
for GPU tests.
- Patrick: It's mostly for headless machines. WIll require a lot of testing
but huge benefit to project.
