Steve,
We were only seven to attend the DATE meeting, three of which having already
attended the DVCon meeting... I think one main reason for that was the pretty
bad choice of the day: Monday evening was before the DATE conference actually
started and only people attending tutorials and other fringe meetings were
there. You should have been aware that fringe meetings could also happen
during lunch time or evening time on Tuesday and Thursday. So, do not expect
many more subscriptions from DATE.
As the DATE meeting failed, you should allow more time to review the
prioritization of actions. I think it could be the role of ECSI to provide the
documents (i.e. the updated ppt presentation and the Excel file with
priorities) to their members so they can react. Jean Mermet agreed and I sent
the files to ECSI so they can post them in their web site and ask their
members for feedback. This should be done by the end of this week. I'm also
expecting to have these files, and other related VHDL-200x documents,
available in the VASG web site.
Now, I would have a few questions/comments on the VHDL-200x initiative.
- Where is the list of requests actually coming from? What are the rationales
behind them? This is important to define priorities properly.
- What is the role of the "Miscellaneous" team? It seems to be a kind of
catch-all, but I understood that no new requests will be accepted.
- I would stress that the validation process should carefully consider the
implications of the changes to the 1076.1 standard.
- The 1076.1 WG may have some new requests to add. I would need some more time
to discuss this in the WG.
- The email discussion should be archived in the VASG web site in the same way
we have in the 1076.1 WG.
Regards,
