1) The Chair read the IEEE patent policy presentation,and refers all
to http://www.verilog.com/IEEEVerilog.html where a link to the IEEE
policy is prominent.
2) Shalom corrected that the minutes of the previous meeting
incorrectly reflected that Charles left the meeting, when he did not.
Also he pointed out that issues were all listed as Approved as
amended, where as none were actually amended. With these corrections,
Steve Sharp moved, and the minutes as amended were approved
unanimously.
3) Report of the 2001c Project
Remaining work is on the index; Shalom working alphabetically and is
up to the letter 'S', specify blocks; expects a few days to finish,
and then we can send it off to print.
Separately, we are awaiting errata sheet back from Andy, which we will
need to review. This will be attached to the 2001c printing.
4) Report on User survey
Kurt reported: turnout not very good; SNPS had it at the resturant
bar, and 30 signed up and just 20 showed up; At Cadence, it was at a
Birds of a Feather, with food & beverages, 12 surveys were completed.
Most self identified themeslves as designer or verification engineer,
and he has produced charts and graphs which he will send out right
now. We will have Dennis make this available at FDL, and send it as
PDF to John Cooley and Janick Bergeron, and to the Mac's Verilog mode
list.
Kurts moves, Steve Sharps seconds that Stu should prepare and Mac send
out surveys to Janick, Cooley, Mac FAX back to 650-934-6893
