    • Ask about work Toni did and the real direction we want to go.
    • Pawel indicated Toni's work is just temporary to have something stable.
    • Want to toss it when Mikhail's work is completed. Looking for help from Toni.
  • Pawel DSF - 1.1 started - Toni working on debug view ( performance, update modes ).
  • Mark discuss GDB - progressing well.
    • Code Sourcery will deliver non-stop mode to GDB main branch shortly.
    • Also looking at multiprocessor support will need to coordinate with Pawel.
  • Pawel update on multi-context. Updated working page. Wants to pick up the effort soon after Ganymede.
• DSF future discussion
  • Should DD continue as we have been or merge various parts in to other existing projects ( like CDT and PLATFORM ).
    • Opinions
    • Samantha - likes separate project
    • Francois - could go either way
    • Mikhail - CDT too large/too many committers ( out of control ). Device debugging more under control. CDT too undiciplined.
    • Ken - would like to see DD become subproject of CDT
    • Pawel - merging is natural, but do not want to lose the focus.
