Attendees: Benoit Hudson (ImgSpc), Amos Li, Mark Visser (Unity)

Agenda

Review action items from last meeting

Notes

Update from Victor: The only thing I’ve done though is reviewing PyBuffer request PR: https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/pull/980, for which, sadly, tests are still not passing.

Update from Benedikt: I've been mostly working on clr_loader, will open a PR on pythonnet for this weekend.

.NET foundation:

Mark finally got a reply back from his contact at Unity
He will loop Benedikt in on the e-mail as soon as he's introduced to someone on the .NET foundation

Soft restart:

PR is large and hard to review
https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/pull/958#issuecomment-551230878
documented here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a9OLsdKHXJ6MxHjo0WlVRcfjAiaP5hONNKUKKH6Tr-o
Benoit will break out SlotsHolder and __import__ restore into smaller PRs
Amos can you continue to break https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/pull/958 into smaller PRs to land individually?
discussion about system modules restoration - clarity found
split removal of native code page into another PR after everything else has landed

Regarding the meeting time:

Amos pointed out that the meeting is at 4am his local time - could we move this meeting to a better time for him?
possible times:

4 hours earlier (12pm EST, 8am PST, 12am China)
2 hours later (5pm EST, 11am PST, 6am China)
3 hours later (6pm EST, 12pm PST, 7am China)
please discuss!
