[vhdl-200x] Re: VHDL Study Group Meeting Reminder and Details

Hi,
I have had a couple of questions regarding should
I or can I attend the meeting.

The short answer is yes.

The long answer is, this meeting is open to all
with a vested interest in VHDL. If you are actively
using VHDL or developing tools for VHDL, you have
a vote in the meeting.

Also, before the meeting, please read the IEEE
patent policy:
https://development.standards.ieee.org/myproject/Public/mytools/mob/slideset.pdf

Best,
Jim
