• Alexander Esseling
• Thomas Beutlich
Join OIN (open invention network)?
• Joining OIN is being suspended in the short-term
• Decision to evaluate joining the KDE project
• Benefits: KDE is already part of the open invention network
• KDE project might bring new contributor and/or maintainer to the project
Exiv2 after v0.27.4?
• No new maintainer has volunteered.
• We agreed to simplify the branch structure and "modernise" the code (C++20 support)
• Current master branch v0.28 will be labeled as old-master and frozen.
• 0.27-maintenance will be frozen.
• We'll branch 0.27-maintenance to 'main' and make it the default branch.
• Luis will port Unique pointer code from old-master to main.
• Robin will release v0.28 from 'main' in the Fall.
There is no active plant for development of Exiv2 beyond 2021.
We hope to have a week-end retreat in Germany in the Fall to celebrate our achievements.
