00:23 <kintel> In terms of gsoc, one possible project could be to shape up our MSVC support for native Windows devs. It would require us to attract someone familiar with native Windows development, and able to understand how library dependencies, DLLs etc. actually works.

00:23 <kintel> (might be way late to bring that up though)

00:24 <teepee> org deadline is tuesday

00:24 <teepee> sean asked a while ago, but I'm not checking gmail very ofen

00:25 <teepee> windows stuff might be a bit difficult to mentor though

00:25 <teepee> but adding the topic can't hurt

00:30 <kintel> Yeah, mentoring would be more about how to play nice with other OS'es and help with CI config, so skills would need to come from other sources

00:33 <kintel> I was thinking: MSVC support, library packaging for MSVC, integration of library packaging + build into CI (for every PR to avoid bitrot), update READMEs, consider binary builds on native Windows, write up HOWTO native debugging, plus generally educate us on how native Windows development works. This will easily fill 3-6 months of work, so scale it down appropriately

00:34 <kintel> I can mentor, modulo being away practically all of July. I might even be persuaded to install Windows again :)

00:35 <kintel> I'll write up a ticket

01:01 <kintel> https://github.com/opencax/GSoC/issues/101 - with a huge caveat under

01:02 <kintel> ..under "Mentors"

01:03 <teepee> yeah, but one step at a time, first org selection :-)

01:19 <JakeSays> hey how did last year's gsoc go for you guys?

10:53 <lockywolf> Is there an idiomatic way to make rounded corners for stuff?

11:12 <lockywolf> Is there a demo for MCAD?

11:31 <lockywolf> Hm... for some reason, rotate_extrude refuses to work for me with an object which has been "offset(1)"

12:00 <J25k52> lockywolf you might have an object that has parts on both sides of y axis

12:00 <J25k52> rotate_extrude()translate([20,0])offset(2)square(10);

12:01 <J25k52> minkowski allows round corners in 3D

12:02 <lockywolf> ah, right

12:02 <lockywolf> J25k52: thank you!

12:11 <J25k52> rotate_extrude()intersection(){offset(1)square(10),square(100)}

12:12 <J25k52> rotate_extrude()intersection(){offset(1,$fs=.2)square(10);square(100);}

12:12 <J25k52> lockywolf or try offset(1)offset(-1)square(10);

12:13 <lockywolf> nice, thank you

12:15 <J25k52> there are some libraries too that make round things easier

18:56 <dalias> is there anywhere to get snapshot source archives that contain the submodules?

18:56 <dalias> #*(&%#(*&% github omits the submodules when you grab archive for a git hash

19:16 <teepee> dalias: in theory https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:t-paul/OpenSCAD - tring to find if there's a download button

19:17 <teepee> :/

19:35 <Murr> Is there a command line flag to get a list of all fonts that an OpenSCAD installation supports (apart from fc-list)

19:35 <teepee> no, only gui right now

19:36 <teepee> nut there should be a matching fc-list incabtation

19:37 <Murr> I realized that especially with emoji fonts, there are fonts that fc-list shows that do not in fact work

19:38 <Murr> on the other hand, these also show up in the OpenSCAD font list, so I guess OpenSCAD does not really know when it cannot handle a particular font

19:38 <teepee> yes, I think the main criteria is "scalable" exvluding bitmap fonts

19:39 <teepee> I don't know how to exclude those. if "color=false" is a good criteria we could add that

19:40 <teepee> https://github.com/openscad/openscad/blob/master/src/FontCache.cc#L369-L379

19:41 <teepee> that's the current base restriction

19:41 <teepee> uh, hmm...

19:42 <teepee> fc-list finds 953 fonts

19:42 <teepee> openscad 963

19:43 <teepee> ah, duplicates in different places

19:45 <Murr> Looks like fc-list :outline=True:scalable=True is basically what I should be using, then

19:46 <teepee> yep, that should match the selection

19:47 <teepee> it's not perfect as it accepts color/svg fonts we can't handle

19:47 <teepee> like noto-color

20:23 <dalias> teepee, doh dont see one

20:23 <teepee> yeah, can't find one either :(

20:23 <dalias> i guess i need to just grab submods separately..

20:24 <dalias> but i dont know how to tell abuild to do that

20:24 <teepee> I suppose we could put something into out CI system to generate that
