Subject: RFD:  comp.sys.cadence
Followup-To: news.groups
Organization: Canadian Microelectronics Corporation
Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1992 18:10:49 GMT

Call For Discussion:  Creation of comp.sys.cadence 

   - an effective forum for discussion of problems, 
     solutions, pains and gains related to Cadence tools 
     is desirable.
   - some interest has been expressed on comp.lsi.cad
   - Cadence just merged with Valid, placing them as a very 
     significant player in the CAD s/w marketplace.
   - there rates to be lots of discussion about migrating
     to Opus/Amadeus in the future
   - mentor users have their own newsgroup :-)

The company I work for (Canadian Microelectronics Corp.)
maintains the mailing list:

     [email protected]

with international membership (approximately 200
subscribers).  There also exists:

     [email protected]

maintained by Jeff Putsch ([email protected]) at Unitrode 
Integrated Circuits Corp.  On the creation of comp.sys.cadence, 
I propose [email protected] be retired.    Jeff and I agree 
that discussion is useful but wonder why traffic is close 
to nil on our respective mailing lists.   The future of 
artist-users is up to Jeff and the members of the list.   

The company I work for has volunteered to archive 
comp.sys.cadence if it is created and make archives available 
via anonymous ftp and sometime in the future, via a mail 
archive server.     We currently do this for can.vlsi,  a
Canadian VLSI newsgroup on Usenet.

I would personally be willing to post questions from users
who have email access but no Usenet access.  This would take
place on a "best-effort-basis" and be subject to the mail
volume and my workload.

I'm sending a copy of this CFD Usenet posting to both of the
above-mentioned mailing lists.    If you received this 
via one of these mailing lists and wish to comment,  you
may email me directly.

And so this is a Call For Discussion for the creation of:

        Name: comp.sys.cadence
     Charter: Discussion on CAE tools by Cadence Design 
	      Systems, including:  requests for assistance, 
	      solutions to problems, new tools, old tools, 
	      company mergers and purchases, migration to 
	      new frameworks (e.g. FMKII), gripes and wishes.   
   Exclusion: Discussion on the Verilog language as this is 
	      taking place on comp.lang.verilog.
  Moderation: Unmoderated.
Side effects: Shutdown of [email protected] mailing list 
	     

Your comments are solicited:

   1.  should we create it?
   2.  is the name correct (position in the Usenet hierarchy)?
   3.  should cadence employees be encouraged or discouraged 
       to participate?  (I say encouraged)
   4.  should it be moderated?  (I say not!   Especically not
       by me!)


According to accepted Usenet protocol:

   1.  this CFD is being posted to news.announce.newgroups and 
       also to any other groups or mailing lists at all related to 
       the proposed topic
   2.  this call for discussion will initiate 30 (or less) days of 
       discussion (start: March 30, 1992, end: April 26, 1992) 
   3.  followup discussion on this topic should be made to the 
       newsgroup "news.groups".   If you attempt a "followup" with 
       your news reader, this will likely be automatic.  Additional 
       discussion can take place informally via mail.
   4.  if this call for discussion generates postive feedback on 
       the creation of comp.sys.cadence, I will conduct a vote 
       for a 21 to 31-day period following the discussion period.


So let the discussions begin!
