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.
Best, Neil Hanlon

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).
