Hi all,
I’ve been trying to get in touch with the ISA SIG but haven’t been able
to find much current information, particularly around where conversations are happening these days.
I checked the ISA SIG documentation but couldn’t locate a Matrix channel
matching the one described, and I haven’t seen any recent meetings in #centos-meeting on Libera or similar. I also noticed a few broken links on various SIG pages, and I know the SIG's original mission had finished, so I figured the best path was to ask here directly.
Given the renewed focus on RISC-V, I would love to get involved or help
out if there’s anything currently in motion. We (Rocky) are keenly interested in the initiatives mentioned in the recent blog post.
I met some of the folks at Red Hat Summit, and based on what I was told, the efforts around the ISA SIG revival will begin after the source code for the CentOS and RHEL 10 RISC-V previews are published and merged after June 1.
Basically, sit tight, people need to recover from Red Hat Summit. :)
This channel (centos-devel) is possibly the best channel to ask, so this is good.
As Neal said, we're in the middle of conference season and things are a bit slow. But I have been pinged about various things for risc-v, and I'm hoping in the next couple of weeks we should be in a spot to answer questions and point you in the right directions.
In addition to risc-v we are also talking about doing an x86_64 CS10 rebuild with various flags and settings changed. So yes, we are reviving and are planning on building more things. But give us a couple weeks to get our feet on the ground (literally).
