Stan is away at present (lucky him :-). Before leaving, however, he was
kind enough to write the following summary report of the days events. 
I'm posting it here on his behalf.

My apologies for not posting it earlier.

GDB meeting, Silicon Valley 1999-05-14

Last Friday (1999-05-14) a group of GDB hackers and other
interested parties got together to discuss the maintenance
of GDB.  The meeting was held at HP's Cupertino CA campus,
and included the following participants:

       Andrew Cagney (cagney@cygnus.com)
       J. T. Conklin (jtc@redbacknetworks.com)
       Robert Dewar (dewar@gnat.com)
       Klee Dienes (klee@apple.com)
       Wes Embry (wes@sgi.com)
       Paul Hilfinger (hilfingr@CS.Berkeley.edu)
       David Metcalfe (crdjm@sgi.com)
       Paul Sanville (sanville@cup.hp.com)
       Stan Shebs (shebs@cygnus.com)
       Richard Stallman (rms@gnu.org)
       Mike Vermeulen (mev@cup.hp.com)
       Sanjay Waghray (sw@home.com)
       Todd Whitesel (toddpw@wrs.com)

Much of the discussion focussed on the technical directions
that have been discussed in this forum already (multi-architecture,
multi-process, async debug).  There was also discussion of using
Guile with GTK to build the standard windowed interface for GDB.

We did agree to form a "steering committee" for GDB.  This
committee would play a role similar to the GCC steering
committee, in that it would focus on overall policy for GDB,
with day-to-day maintenance generally continuing as before.
Committee membership was not decided at this meeting, and will
be worked out in the coming weeks.
