SGI C++ ABI -- Initial meeting

[Jim Dehnert]

The initial meeting is set for 11-1 on Thursday, 3 June.

We have an Intel phone bridge for the meeting.  Call (916)356-9200.
The RS # is 7-33255, and the passcode is 773-9583.
Thanks to Sunil for setting this up.

Subject to further refinement, I expect the agenda Thursday to be:

 1) Discussion of objectives.
 2) Procedural issues:  meetings, intellectual property, etc.
 3) Identify ABI issues to be raised.
 4) Matt Austern will summarize the object layout issues.

The meeting will be in the Maui conference room, SGI building 10.
>From the north, take Amphitheatre Pkwy. east and cross Shoreline
at the second light.  Go nearly to the end of the block -- building 10
is the next to last on the left, not counting the buildings at the end.
>From the south, take Shoreline Blvd. east, turn right at the red
sculpture, and follow the directions above.

Please let me know by mid-day tomorrow if you're planning to attend in
the flesh, so we can have food available.  (I know about Michael.)

It was intentional -- sorry about the confusion.  Those were rough
internal descriptions, and we'll probably provide something cleaner
later.

The intent is that they be white in general.  If we need orange
discussions, we'll split them off.

I'm presuming that, with Intel's participation, we can handle any
orange side discussions with no more agreements than we have now for
the IA-64 psABI.  Is that reasonable, Sunil?
