[Iverilog-devel] San Francisco/bay area Icarus get together 11/3 or 11/4

[Cary R. <cy...@ya...>]

I'm looking to see if anyone is interested in an Icarus Verilog get together some time this weekend 11/3 or 11/4?

I will be in the area over the weekend and Steve is always in the area. We have a slight preference for Sunday(11/4) and somewhere on the peninsula. Meeting for lunch with adequate time for discussions afterwards is what I was thinking. If we meet Saturday Steve needs to be done by 5:00-6:00PM. Since I'm not from the area, suggestions for a place to eat that ideally has an appropriately sized side/private room would be appreciated.


I don't have a specific agenda, but the following are always topic of interest:

Hearing how people are using Icarus.
What are the most important limitations in Icarus.
If you would like to attend or have a specific general topic please let me know. Private email is OK if you don't want to reply to the list. I will firm up/summarize the details as people reply. Steve and I can always answer specific questions.

Attending would also give you an opportunity to satisfy the GNU "Free As In Beer" phrase ;-), but depending on how many show up that could get dangerous for Steve and I! I think in the four times I've meet with Steve in person we have had Thia food twice and pizza twice so that gives you an idea of our past preferences, but please don't let that short list limit your suggestions.

The only caveat to all this is that the reason I will be in the area is because I have a chip coming back Thursday or Friday morning. I expect to have all the software up and the interface/logic verified in a few hours. Yes, that really is a realistic schedule. The issue is if something is broken (very unlikely) I may need to spend the weekend on debug, so my attendance is slightly conditional. I can always take a break to clear my head for a few hours, but I'll be under some pressure to get back quickly.
