We had agreed on meeting again this Saturday at 2PM central but I just realized that's going to overlap with a wedding I'm going to. Could we reschedule for the same time Sunday?

That works for me.

[sgrogan]

OK, by me.

What's our agenda?

I was successful in compiling FreeCAD on my Windows 10 machine. Here is the information regarding my build:

OS: Windows 10 (10.0)
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.16821 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: 73c1a9c9a75f1703d79d41d8670f5e073c72c7b5
Python version: 3.6.8
Qt version: 5.12.1
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: English/United States (en_US)

There were a few bumps along the way, and I made some mistakes, but sgrogan and kkremitzki got me through smoothly. I can now build and run FreeCAD on both Ubuntu and Windows 10!

[kkremitzki]

OK, by me.

What's our agenda?

Besides a general check-in, one main item on the agenda is to collectively pick the first Debian/Ubuntu packaging bug for FreeCAD which we'd like Zach to work on once the coding period begins Monday.

Maybe this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1754084

I've updated my blog with a post for yesterday. Today I'm having an in-person meeting with kkremitzki and we have one planned for this weekend as well. I'll be updating my blog with today's progress later tonight.

I updated my blog with some info about my upcoming coding work. A detailed plan on how to improve the OpenCamLib installation with FreeCAD will follow.

Hey @zach
Hows it going? How is the progress going?
Also, please put your blog address in you signature

The progress is going well. I have added my blog to my signature.

My last contribution was adding a dependency to the packaging build for FreeCAD. My blog post https://zachgummow.github.io/Control/ has the link to the merge request and https://zachgummow.github.io/Changelog/ covers my experiences working on it.
