# AGENDA

Festive Starting of the Recorder
There will be a brief joyful interlude to mark the beginning of the monthly recording of the Zoom session. Recordings will be posted to the SVFIG YouTube channel!

Announcements
Forth Day is coming up!
Ting's stuff, storage books, what to do with old computers?
What are you working on?
=+
An AI Programming Language --- Earl Moreo
A formal language, based on Forth's stack organization, would make AI more responsive, give it a STOP and an END command, and make Alexa's intransigence less common.
The call statement for the language goes in a cartouche (Like the command line on MY HP computer.)
=+
Screen Shot --- Everyone
We'll pause to record the roster for posterity. If you're on the lam, turn off your camera or log out for two minutes. Remember that the whole meeting is recorded for YouTube.
=+
CoSy Update --- Bob Armstrong
=+
Radio Direction Finding in Forth --- Andy Korsak KR6DD (Tentative, at some random time)
“It took a few years of rework and debugging, but now I have a working program to generate "perfect test files" that are raw S16LE 48kbps stereo data files for my RPiDDFengine to read simulated bearings data when in recorded data playback mode. I am now checking out RPiDDFengine running in live data mode.”
=+
Random Access, Round Table, Replays, Ad Hoc
Forth Day after-action review.
What was your first Forth? On what platform?
Trade shows, public outreach.
Elevator pitch for Forth / printing a bookmark list of resources?
Meeting locations from history, Chabot, ABI, Dyson Wedge, Cogswell, …? We need a list!
=+
ADJOURNMENT
The recording will be stopped without festivities. Good fellowship and conversation can continue in our tastefully furnished Zoom Room.
