[llvm-dev] SVE/SVE2 LLVM sync-up calls

[Sander De Smalen via llvm-dev]

Thanks to all who attended last week's SVE/SVE2 sync-up meeting!

The next meeting will be on Thursday, January 9th, at 5pm GMT / 9am PST.

I've created the agenda for the next meeting here:

(If you want to attend, please add your name, email and organisation to the list referenced in the document above so I can include you in the invite).

The minutes from last week's sync-up can be found here (thanks Kristof!).

If there are any inaccuracies in the minutes, please feel free to fix them!

In the meeting we discussed creating a separate document that allows us to better coordinate our efforts and to have a collated list of open SVE/SVE2 patches on Phabricator. I'll try to keep this list up-to-date!

>> Similar to the other sync-up calls, we can share the agenda/minutes openly on the mailing list here so that it remains inclusive to anyone wanting to get involved. I'm new to organising something like this, so if you have any advice, I'm open to suggestions!

>> I've created a Doodle poll to pick a date/time for a first sync-up next week: https://doodle.com/poll/ecc73ditrqbhh9re (this proposes some preliminary slots that seem convenient for both UK/US timezones to include those who expressed interest. If you're in a different timezone and cannot attend, please let me know so we can try to mitigate that in some other way).

>> Please fill in the poll, reply to this thread or send me an email privately if you're interested in participating!
