Hi all, There hasn't been an overwhelming interest for the OpenRISC meetup in October. At least not according to my preliminary guest list (Four yes and one maybe). At the same time the guys at FSCONS really want us to come, and I was contacted yesterday by Jeremiah Foster who is in charge of the embedded track this year. What do you all say if we should move the meetup to FSCONS in Gothenburg November 9-11. Maybe do some OpenRISC-related presentations in the embedded track and arrange a room (pub?) where we can chat and discuss architectural decisions and some of the long-standing issues that we have been having the last year. I can check with Jeremiah how much time we could be allocated for presentations at the conference, but I think we need to decide quite soon, as the deadline seems to be approaching fast. -- Olof Kindgren ______________________________________________ ORSoC Website: www.orsoc.se Email: [email protected] ______________________________________________ FPGA, ASIC, DSP - embedded SoC design _______________________________________________ OpenRISC mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openrisc.net/listinfo/openrisc
