# Main Agenda

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

Discussion of commit frequency and other points mentioned in
[this](https://lists.libre-soc.org/pipermail/libre-soc-dev/2024-January/005912.html)
email thread. Points to be discussed:

* Due to length, moved to separate discussion page:
[[discussion/sync_up_2024-01-16_discussion]]

After meeting discussion, points agreed upon will be documented
in the wiki.

FOSDEM:

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

# Dmitry

- [bug #980](https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=980)
  - Still some work required. A few days until
  - Two types of pseudocode: instructions, python functions
  - For now provides prototypes for many features

# Sadoon

- [bug #1157](https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157)
  - walkthrough code during meeting.

Jacob provided great help:

```

```


# Andrey

- Recovering from a cold (worst of it already happened on the weekend,
now mostly blocked nose).
- [Bug #1048](https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1048),
  Luke and Jacob made comments regarding the summary, I'll work on it
  when available.
- Checked that RfP for Red was paid, so added extra commentary on IRC
(continued from walkthrough Luke and I did last month).
  - [[HDL_workflow/rfp_submission_guide]]
  - Additional
[IRC messages](https://libre-soc.org/irclog/latest.log.html#t2024-01-15T17:58:17)
- Created a discussion page for the "git commit frequency" topic that
came up last week: [[discussion/sync_up_2024-01-16_discussion]].
Announcement on
[IRC](https://libre-soc.org/irclog/latest.log.html#t2024-01-15T19:05:24)
- TODO:
  - Change my main email from technepisteme.xyz to the gmail one.
  - Redo the calendar invites for the sync-up meetings.

# Jacob

- so, not a whole lot of news from me, i fixed a
extra-parenthesis-in-a-wrong-spot bug for dmitry and fixed a bug
luke left, but didn't actually make any coding progress beyond
that.

During call, walked with Sadoon through assembler:

```
summary: discussing how to best split into sub-word chunks
for poly1305
> tbh dsrd isn't better than other shifts here
It did help with taking the shift remainders and stitching them together which shortened the code quite a bit
Also considering doing sv.dsrd instead of two dsrd's since we already use setvl=2 here
> sv.dsrd is 8 bytes, just like 2x dsrd 
But it's a good demo of setvl anyways
> yeah, being a good demo doesn't mean there isn't a better demo 
The better demo is the mul/adds 😃
> try using a different register than r0, the simulator may be treating that like (RA|0) and just using r0 in both iterations... 
```

# Sadoon

* Working through Poly1305 assembler.
* Poly1305, [bug #1157](https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157)
* 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.
* TODO: Make comments on bug #1157.

* After that, work with the team on presentations as well as my own
