we have any? :-)

hiya dmitry good to hear from you.

fosdem is feb 03-4, everyone has talks to do (as beamer
latex, under https://libre-soc.org/conferences/fosdem2024/)
and the schedule's up
https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/libre-soc-fpga-and-vlsi/

the MoU for 2022-08-107 i signed weeks ago but we still have
not had the RFP URL or a signature from NLnet.

work can still be done such that it *will* get paid...
but until we receive the countersigned MoU none of
us an submit RFPs for that work without the "secret URL".

communication with NLnet on this topic was 3 days ago.


in the meantime dmitry by contrast the cavatools ones *are*
open, *are* signed, *are* urgent and absolutely have to get
done by march 1st 2024 as we made a hard committment to NLnet
that we would get those done. remember the *EU* Grant for
cavatools ends around i think june 1st. we HAVE to get these
done, and RFPs submitted by march 1st.

so if you can complete that dmitry i see no reason why you
shouldn't have pretty much all that budget? EUR 5000?

everyone, reminder: likewise the cryptoprimitives one we made
a commitment to NLnet to get aaaaalll of that grant completed
by 1st march. it's on the same hard *EU* deadline.
