Hi Mnemonic contributors and PMCs, As the benefits of non-volatile memory technology are very limited on its own, we may need to consider developing some applications to present it, such as ML/AI. so I would like to call a vote to make a community wide decision on this new direction for Mnemonic, please vote, and we can definitely do further discussion on it after it, thanks.
Please vote accordingly, [] +1 approve [] +0 no opinion [] -1 disapprove with a reason Thank you all for your participation.
