# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (September 8, 2014)

* kanzure discussed working on "lolcad," a CAD software project, mentioning he was taking a more methodical approach with proper testing (109 tests running in 0.151s) compared to his earlier version from 3 years prior.

* kanzure shared information about "verbnurbs" (http://verbnurbs.com/ and https://github.com/pboyer/verb), a NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) geometry library that he described as "very close to being perfect" but noted it was still missing surface-surface intersection functionality.

* A paper on efficient surface-surface intersection algorithms using adaptive surface triangulations was shared (http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/cad/An%20efficient%20surface-surface%20intersection%20algorithm%20using%20adaptive%20surface%20triangulations%20and%20space%20partitioning%20trees.pdf).

* kanzure mentioned that Rhino (a commercial 3D modeling software) had removed their surface bonding box algorithm before releasing OpenNURBS as open source, likely to maintain commercial licensing value.

* There was a brief discussion about the possibility of integrating or replacing "nanoengineer" software, with kanzure indicating he eventually wanted to "delete" nanoengineer, suggesting a plan to replace it with his own implementation.

* A news item was shared about the Satoshi Nakamoto SourceForge account being hacked, related to Bitcoin's creator.
