Hi all

[arpadbuermen]

Kreijstal, Juan. What is the idea regarding this org? What are the goals? Which one of you started it? I know Juan invited me...

[tcaduser]

From what I can tell, there haven't been any work being released from https://github.com/pascalkuthe/OpenVAF in quite a while. I thought that maybe it would be good to start a new organization and take it over. From what I can tell, there are many commits and pull requests that have not been integrated from you @Kreijstal or @gjcoram.

[tcaduser]

From what I can tell, @pascalkuthe, the original author, has taken a position at an EDA company, and is no longer committing.

[Kreijstal]

@tcaduser started this organization and invited me. I suppose he wants to bring everyone here together, I'm neutral.

I believe this originated from pascalkuthe@9fdd191#comments
where I expressed a wish to @gjcoram to consider contributing to your fork instead, then @tcaduser simply said, just create an organization, he created one and invited me, you and gjcoram

OpenVAF-reloaded has all the commits from gjcoram and dwarning, as well as, everything I added. To my knowledge that is everything there is out there. The only thing missing is Kreijstal's LLVM18 port.

I did not create any pull requests because I knew Pascal is no longer working on the project. That's why I started my own fork. I almost exclusively use OpenVAF as the compiler behind the VACASK analog circuit simulator. I add features to OpenVAF when I need them in the simulator.

Kreijstal: is all the code in the LLVM18 port human-generated, or are there parts that are written by a LLM? The latter need to be reviewed by a human. LLMs produce a lot of c**p. Highly technical software, like OpenVAF, is sensitive to hallucinated code :) May work fine at first sight, but sometime later can break in unexpected ways.

I just found that my invitation has expired. Can someone re-invite me? Thanks.

[arpadbuermen]

I re-invited you yesterday.

Hello all,
As I explained at OpenVAF/OpenVAF-Reloaded#1 I would like to help to revive OpenVAF. At the moment I would like to import the website to this organization.
So maybe if you're okay with that @arpadbuermen, you could add me to the organisation so I can do that?

[Kreijstal]

It seems I can invite you, so I did
