Summary:
-Ken Bakalar hasn't sent out the slides. We will check with Ken on his progress. A backup plan was also discussed in the event that Ken doesn't have time to create the slides.
-Ideas for slide content were discussed briefly.
Action Items:
Details:
SL: It was my intention to discuss the slides provided by Ken at the meeting today. Ken has not called in or provided slides. I would like to say a bit about generally what is expected from the slides and then solicit input from John and Ed who have more experience with these meetings. I think that the features should be described with a motivating example or problem statement. I think that it is generally understood that the syntax presented would be preliminary and examples can be useful to illustrate your point.
EC: I don't think that using example syntax is a good idea. Proposing syntax can be dangerous.
JH: I disagree. I think that proposing syntax helps people envision a solution to the problem.
HA: Should we form a backup plan in case Ken isn't able to do the slides.
SL: Okay, it sounds like Jim has already started the process for the synchronization section. I think it makes sense to let him proceed. I can deal with the remaining two sections.
HA: It might be a good idea to solicit help for those.
SL: Does anyone want to volunteer to help with those slides?
HA: I can help with the assertions.
TL: What is the intended audience here?
SL: This is to the P1800 or
SystemVerilog committee. I would presume a very digital centric crowd. We need to clearly motivate the need and use cases for these items.
HA: Who is going to present this material?
SL: I don't know. We should decide that next week.
JL: Is the Verilog-AMS committee going to present as well?
SL: I believe they are planning to have something. They will have a meeting this afternoon regarding that issue.
