Hi Derrick,
I will need an invitation letter in order to get the
Canada
visa. Will you be sending invitations?
Thank you,
Mikhail

Subject: [cdt-dev] CDT Fall
Conference
Logistics:
October 25-27
Location: Ottawa,
QNX 175 Terence Matthews Crescent,
Ottawa Ontario.
Based on your feedback I have made some changes. I
have not made any adjustments based on the agenda for language symposium since
I've not received any details. I feel we should leave language topics scheduled
as they are in order to leave sufficient time for discussion during the
conference.
We can also add BofFs in the evenings. Chris has
suggested a BofF on Tuesday evening on making the lives of ISVs easier.
"Currently there are a lot of hoops that we and others jump through
to make products out of the CDT, and we should try to ease that pain as much as
we can." Chris I'm assuming that you are leading this BofF.
We still have two open time slots the first day for
Debugging topics, be it requirements or design. As well, there is an open time
slot on Thursday since the subject previously scheduled will be covered off
under the language symposium.
Tuesday October 25, 2005
9:15-10:00 Introduction and kick-off
10:00 - 11:00 Presentation: QNX: Debugger
Architecture - challenges, deficiencies, solutions.
11:00 -11:15 Break
11:15- 12:15 Presentation: Open for other projects
DSDP or Platform.
12:15-1:15 Lunch
1:15 - 2:15 Volunteer? Debugger- Design Session:
There are a lot of requirements that have been under discussion for the past
several months from members of the CDT team as well s the DSP team. By fall it
may be appropriate to hold a Design review or session for these requirements.
2:15-2:30 Break
2:30- 3:00 Presentation:LosAlmos:Greg: Extending
CDT to debug programs in parallel- presentation of the results of this work
3:00 -4:00 Presentation:Symbian:Lars: Symbian is
purposing a contribution to the CDT called a Template Engine. This is a
template based mechanism to create projects, add items to projects, manipulate
projects, etc. that is driven by an XML file for generating wizard pages and a
process description which tells the engine how to process the data from the
wizard. The UI and process side are extensible. Assuming sufficient progress is
made in the next few weeks, Lars will give a presentation with a small demo
describing the template engine to check whether there is a case for
contributing the template engine to CDT.
Wednesday October 26, 2005
9:00 -10:00 Presentation:LosAlmos:Craig: Using CDT
as a platform for Multi-language support - presentation of work they have done
in this area. The purpose of the presentation is to make everyone aware of the
issues and to try and come to a consensus about generic language support in
CDT.
10:00-11:00 Presentation -Demo:UIUC:Jeff Overbey:
How to Integrate a New Language into the CDT in 15 Minutes.
11:00-11:15 Break
11:15-12:15 Presentaion:Intel:Leo: The possibility
of a CDT-Wide concept of a "tool-chain". QNX is interested in working
with Intel on this presentation.
12:15 - 1:15 Lunch
1:15-2:15 Presentation: TI:Martin, QNX:Thomas CDT
End User Experience - Many companies are now shipping the CDT as part of their
own custom development environments. This session will present some of the end
user likes, dislikes and general comments on CDT. This session should be used
as an opportunity to help plan end-user relevant development activities for the
CDT that will benefit the widest possible audience and improve the overall user
experience.
2:15-2:30 Break
2:30-3:00 Presentation:QNX: Doug: Parser and all
things related - Architecture overview as well as current issues challenges.
3:00 - 4:00 Discussion:Intel:Leo: Discussion of
where we think CDT is with regards to scalability and performance.
Thursday October 27, 2005

- Build system requirements
10:15-10:30 Break
10:30 - 11:30 Open time slot - This was a place
holder for a Language Development Tool subject by other projects such as LDP,
DSP or the Platform. Since this will be covered off in the language symposium
on Friday, this now becomes an open time slot
11:30 12:00 Discussion:Intel: Leo: Synchronizing
project loading so that project files (.cdtproject, .cdtbuild) are loaded
