   9 * reminder of **only 6 weeks** until march 1st deadline
  10   for completion of cavatools and cryptoprimitives.
  11
  12 FOSDEM:
  13
  14 * will need volunteers for the devroom:
  15   - Watch speaker, keep track of time
  16   - Carry mic to audience, keep questions short
  17   - Watch the door, make sure talk doesn't get disturbed (people come in
  18 in the middle of a talk)
  19 * Make sure PDF slides for the talks are:
  20   - Uploaded to pretalx platform in good time (two weeks before FOSDEM?)
  21   - Resolution set to **1280x800** resolution, preferably 800x600.
  22   - Higher-res slides can be uploaded later, but for the actual slides
  23 to be used during the event, resolution must be as mentioned above.
  24   - Put all PDFs on the laptop to be used for presentations. Make sure
  25 we have copies just in case.
  26   - More info on slides from Luke:

  50 - so, not a whole lot of news from me, i fixed a
  51 extra-parenthesis-in-a-wrong-spot bug for dmitry and fixed a bug
  52 luke left, but didn't actually make any coding progress beyond
  53 that.
  54
  55 During call, walked with Sadoon through assembler:
  56
  57 ```
  58 summary: discussing how to best split into sub-word chunks
  59 for poly1305
  60 > tbh dsrd isn't better than other shifts here
  61 It did help with taking the shift remainders and stitching them together which shortened the code quite a bit
  62 Also considering doing sv.dsrd instead of two dsrd's since we already use setvl=2 here
  63 > sv.dsrd is 8 bytes, just like 2x dsrd
  64 But it's a good demo of setvl anyways
  65 > yeah, being a good demo doesn't mean there isn't a better demo
  66 The better demo is the mul/adds 😃
  67 > try using a different register than r0, the simulator may be treating that like (RA|0) and just using r0 in both iterations...
  68 ```

  70 # Sadoon
  71
  72 * Working through Poly1305 assembler.
  73 * Poly1305, [bug #1157](https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1157)
  74 * Learning to use `dsrd`. Had issues with using `sv.dsrd` but it's kind of working now, will use it.
  75 * TODO: Make comments on bug #1157.
  76
  77 * After that, work with the team on presentations as well as my own
