    • AI accelerators (brought by Kangkang)
      • Kangkang: With all the cloud providers now working on Arm chips with AI accelerators, should we have a session in the Linaro Technical Forum about that, bringing cloud providers to talk about their needs on the data center? Huawei has this kind of accelerator for quite some time and Jonathan didn't see the need to bring any requirements for this group, but maybe other companies might be interest in the collaboration.
      • Jon: We talked about this in the past steering committee meeting. Being realistic, nobody in the cloud space will share how their AI chips work at this moment. We should be able to discuss GPUs, though.
    • Planning (brought by Kangkang and Jon)
      • Kangkang: Market is changing fast. We might need to change the plan during the year.
      • Jon: What is the horizon for the group plan?
      • Leonardo: It is 2024 (the whole year). Of course things can change in the market and we can discuss priorities and plan changes. But I don't see things changing a lot. For instance, I believe CCA will be the highest priority for the whole next year. Because of that, we might not be able to address another big topic during 2024. Now, of course things can change, and if something drastic happens in the market, we will bring this to the discussion table.
