   9 * reminder of **only 5 weeks** until march 1st deadline
  10   for completion of cavatools and cryptoprimitives.

  12 Discussion of commit frequency and other points mentioned in
  13 [this](https://lists.libre-soc.org/pipermail/libre-soc-dev/2024-January/005912.html)
  14 email thread. Points to be discussed:
  15
  16 * Due to length, moved to separate discussion page:
  17 [[discussion/sync_up_2024-01-16_discussion]]
  18
  19 After meeting discussion, points agreed upon will be documented
  20 in the wiki.

  22 FOSDEM:
  23
  24 * will need volunteers for the devroom:
  25   - Watch speaker, keep track of time
  26   - Carry mic to audience, keep questions short
  27   - Watch the door, make sure talk doesn't get disturbed (people come in
  28 in the middle of a talk)
  29 * Make sure PDF slides for the talks are:
  30   - Uploaded to pretalx platform in good time (two weeks before FOSDEM?)
  31   - Resolution set to **1280x800** resolution, preferably 800x600.
  32   - Higher-res slides can be uploaded later, but for the actual slides
  33 to be used during the event, resolution must be as mentioned above.
  34   - Put all PDFs on the laptop to be used for presentations. Make sure
  35 we have copies just in case.
  36   - More info on slides from Luke:

  76   Luke and Jacob made comments regarding the summary, I'll work on it
  77   when available.
  78 - Checked that RfP for Red was paid, so added extra commentary on IRC
  79 (continued from walkthrough Luke and I did last month).
  80   - [[HDL_workflow/rfp_submission_guide]]

  91 # Jacob
  92
  93 - so, not a whole lot of news from me, i fixed a
  94 extra-parenthesis-in-a-wrong-spot bug for dmitry and fixed a bug
  95 luke left, but didn't actually make any coding progress beyond
  96 that.
  97
  98 During call, walked with Sadoon through assembler:
  99
 100 ```
 101 summary: discussing how to best split into sub-word chunks
 102 for poly1305
 103 > tbh dsrd isn't better than other shifts here
 104 It did help with taking the shift remainders and stitching them together which shortened the code quite a bit
 105 Also considering doing sv.dsrd instead of two dsrd's since we already use setvl=2 here
 106 > sv.dsrd is 8 bytes, just like 2x dsrd
 107 But it's a good demo of setvl anyways
 108 > yeah, being a good demo doesn't mean there isn't a better demo
 109 The better demo is the mul/adds 😃
 110 > try using a different register than r0, the simulator may be treating that like (RA|0) and just using r0 in both iterations...
 111 ```

 113 # Sadoon
 114
 115 * Working through Poly1305 assembler.
 116 * Poly1305, [bug #1157](https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157)
 117 * Learned to use `dsrd`, done in first half of poly1305_blocks. Had issues with using `sv.dsrd` but it's kind of working now, will use it.
 118 * TODO: Make comments on bug #1157.
 119
 120 * After that, work with the team on presentations as well as my own
