    • SEFUW workshop March 25
    • PhotSat
      • Stelios to set up a meeting to discuss
    • Enrico Magli - Torino professor with interest in AI on FPGAs
    • A PhD student from Los Palmos expressed interest, expect to follow up and include him to FastML community
  • NanoXPlore discussion

    • Purchasing process started
    • ETA end of year or early '25
    • Can access software sooner, and there is one person inside CERN already using the software (Sioni to contact)
    • Sioni to update François with more information

    • Presented Edge SpAIce poster
      • Poster award 🎉
    • Abhishek Jain (AMD) was interested
    • Interested in floating point quantisation part
    • Edge SpAIce at AMLD
      • Apply for AI from the Sky track
      • Consider a second abstract for Edge track focussing on tech aspects e.g. hls4ml vs Vitis AI
  • Follow up with Pauline about contributing to the website with a news article

    • Stelios and Nicolò to write about OBPDC and FastML experiences
  • Noemi on DPUs

    • Presented first look at DPUs (thinking towards NanoXPlore)
