GNU Tools @ Linux Plumbers Conference 2020
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, As you know, we have been unable to hold GNU Tools Cauldron this year due to COVID-19. We plan to be back in 2021! In the meantime, our friends at the Linux Plumbers Conference have provided a GNU Tools track at their 2020 virtual conference 24-28 August. The scope is the same as Cauldron, with talks, lightning talks, tutorials and BoF sessions across all GNU tools: GlibC, GDB, binutils, CGEN, DejaGnu, Newlib, GCC etc. We'll be using BigBlueButton as the platform, and to try to fit in as many talks as possible, we'll be restricting sessions to 25 minutes (10 minutes for lightning talks). We invite your submissions. Full details at: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/linuxplumbers2020 Note that we have a hard deadline of 31 July 2020 (not long). Unlike Cauldron, we won't be able to take late submissions, since we have to tie in with the LPC 2020 infrastructure. We look forward to seeing you (virtually) there. Any questions to tools-cauldron-ad...@googlegroups.com, discussion and future announcements to gcc@gcc.gnu.org.

GNU Cauldron short survey
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 On behalf of the team who organized this year's GNU Tools Cauldron we have prepared a short survey to help us to plan future GNU Tools Cauldrons. This has already been sent directly to everyone who attended this year's meeting, but I am posting it here to give anyone who did not come a chance to express a view on future GNU Cauldrons. To date we have been able to run this event without a registration fee through the generous sponsorship and practical support of a number of individuals and companies. Your response to questions in this survey will provide us with some data and feedback that can be taken into account when we design the format for future GNU Tools Cauldrons and will also support our endeavors to successfully attract sponsorship and support as we plan next year's event.

GNU Tools Cauldron, 9-11 September 2016, Hebden Bridge UK.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 We are very pleased to invite you all the GNU Tools Cauldron on 9-11 September 2016. Our venue this year is Hebden Bridge in The UK. Details are here: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/cauldron2016 As usual, please register, send abstracts and ask administrivia questions to tools-cauldron-admin AT googlegroups.com. The Cauldron is organized by a small ad hoc group of volunteers. We are keen to add some more people, so others can stand down. If you'd like to be part of that organizing committee, please email the same address. I have sent this announcement to the main GCC, GDB, binutils, CGEN, DejaGnu, newlib and glibc mailing lists. Please feel free to share with any other groups that are appropriate. This year, the Cauldron will form the closing weekend of the Wuthering Bytes festival, a 10-day long celebration of free and open source technology at the heart of the UK's "Northern Powerhouse". You will also be aware that after this year's Cauldron we sent out a questionnaire to get feedback to help improve future meetings. Here is a summary GNU Cauldron 2015 – summary of survey responses === 80% of the survey respondents attended the 2015 GNU Tools Cauldron in Prague. 70% of respondents have attended between 1 and 3 annual cauldrons. Of those respondents who stated a preference 83% would like a 3 day cauldron event spanning Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Of those respondents who stated a preference, 78% would like the cauldron to be held in Europe with suggestions that cost and accessibility are important factors, that rotating the continents could share the pain of traveling and an observation that holding the event in other countries, such as China and India, could help find new developers, improve the diversity of the community and its presence internationally. Of those respondents who stated a preference, 59% would like the cauldron to be held in June or July and 41% in August or September. 15 additional comments were submitted in relation to the time of year the cauldron should be held, 80% of these comments supported the cauldron being held outside the months of July and August to avoid hot weather and vacation time. Most respondents received sponsorship to cover some or all of their costs of attending their last cauldron. 62 people responded to the question 'what benefits does attending the GNU Tools Cauldron bring to your work?' Overwhelmingly, as members of an international community, respondents appreciated, value and enjoy the benefit of being able to meet in person people they communicate with remotely thereby fostering the community and strengthening working relationships through social interaction with each other. The annual cauldron is seen by respondents as a platform for face to face contact, community development, a chance to engage with new members, to update technical knowledge and better understand the community. Members articulate the benefits of discovering current issues and gaining insight, listening to members of the community, commenting on work being presented, contributing ideas and knowledge, bringing lead developers together to gather consensus on key development issues and standards, networking, providing individuals and groups with an ability to share, coordinate and plan future work, sparking debate and new ideas. Suggestions by respondents to improve future events cover a suggestion to include tutorial sessions for newer community members, recording all sessions and posting on a dedicated you tube channel, ensuring the accommodation and housekeeping provision caters for the weather conditions and the circulation of a list of attendees to aide formation of specialist interest groups. Overwhelmingly, respondents wish microphones to be used and the acoustic quality of future cauldrons to be improved. Many had experienced an inability to hear speakers. Respondents appreciate the informal and intimate size of the annual cauldrons. I look forward to seeing you in Hebden Bridge next September. In the meantime, have a very happy Christmas and New Year.

Getting the ARC port reviewed and accepted
Hi all, You've probably seen that Joern Rennecke (amylaar) has been pinging repeatedly for help reviewing the ARC port: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2013-09/msg02072.html Joern is approved as a maintainer, and the tests have been reviewed and approved (thanks to Mike Stump). However approximately a year since the original submission, after making various changes suggested at that time, the port itself still awaits review of acceptance. We are in the curious position of a port that has a maintainer and testsuite accepted, but no actual port. What can we do to move this to completion for 4.9 stage 1? It is not the smallest port (the ARC is a complex reconfigurable processor family), but it has been in use for a long time, causes no regression errors in other targets, and has been submitted by a long-standing contributor to GCC. Advice on how to move this forward much appreciated.

Hi David, Joern Rennecke is working with Atmel on the AVR tool chain. You'll see he has submitted quite a large number of AVR related patches in the last year. I've discussed with Atmel's teams in Trondheim and Chennai and they are very supportive of Joern Rennecke being added as a maintainer.
