Summary

Live Stream Performance Review
The recent live stream successfully achieved approximately 750 views within 24 hours, with an estimated 180 to 200 simultaneous viewers. The content will be segmented into individual talks and compiled into a wiki-linked playlist to serve as an educational resource.

Future Conference and Wiki Launch
The team decided to increase the focus on ‘applied edge AI’ in future events by prioritizing deployment and application examples. Planning for the next conference will be centered around application themes, and the working group’s central wiki is scheduled to launch around March 1st.

Strategic Output and Collaboration
Immediate goals include publishing a position paper on neuromorphic technology’s role at the edge and developing an online neuromorphic fundamentals certification module. The group will also explore collaboration with Open Neuromorphic and discuss potential involvement in government-level neuromorphic initiatives

Decisions

NEEDS FURTHER DISCUSSION

• Open Neuromorphic Sponsorship Funnel Edge AI Foundation explores possibility of acting as funnel for Open Neuromorphic sponsorships, handling administrative tasks. Petrut talks to Open Neuromorphic regarding current governance and restructuring before proceeding.

ALIGNED

• Live Stream Video Content Strategy Live stream video segments split into individual talks; talks put on playlist and attached to wiki resource. Titles might be modified slightly for better audience engagement.
• Working Group Wiki Launch Date Working group wiki launch date set for March 1st. Kickstarter meeting notes uploaded to wiki with minor changes.
• Petrut Assigned Working Group Scribe Petrut assigned role as working group scribe/poster. Scribe responsibility taken by Petrut due to difficulty nominating someone with 100% meeting attendance.
• Next Live Stream Content Focus Next live stream content needs balance between technical bones discussions and applied edge AI use cases. Efforts made to find customers who have deployed systems to talk about applications.
• Next Live Stream Industry Analyst Next live stream structure includes industry analyst fireside chat providing high-level context of neuromorphic space. Analyst inclusion sets stage before diving into technical details.
• Next Conference Application Theme Next conference/live stream should focus on application theme, inviting abstracts based on specific use cases. Examples include anomaly detection in industrial settings or neuromorphics for healthcare wearables.
• Create Neuromorphic Certification Module Online knowledge certification module created introducing neuromorphic concepts and literacy. Target completion for module ready by middle of year.

More details:

• Live Stream Feedback and Metrics: The group discussed the recent live stream event, noting approximately 750 views within 24 hours on YouTube, which Pete Bernard characterized as a good, solid start and mentioned an estimated 180 to 200 simultaneous viewers during the stream. Pete Bernard also detailed plans to segment the live stream content into individual talks, compile them into a playlist, and link them to the wiki for use as an educational resource. Petrut Bogdan expressed curiosity about which segmented topics would garner the most interest and views.
• Engagement from Analog Devices/Max Team: Rosina Haberl and Petrut Bogdan welcomed new participants xianju wang and Daniel C, who clarified that they were part of the Max team and represented Analog Devices, a strategic sponsor of the foundation. Rosina Haberl clarified that they had been communicating with Near, xianju wang’s manager, who had confirmed they would join the meeting. Daniel C confirmed that Analog Devices is actively looking into the topics discussed.
• Wiki Launch and Housekeeping: Pete Bernard confirmed that the wiki, intended as a central landing point for working group output and meeting notes, is nearing completion and scheduled to go live around March 1st. Petrut Bogdan confirmed that they had access to the wiki and suggested uploading the existing foundational document from the Kickstarter meeting with minor necessary adjustments. Pete Bernard also requested that Petrut Bogdan nominate a scribe for the working group’s posting duties; Petrut Bogdan indicated that they would likely fulfill this role themself due to their 100% attendance record.
• Postmortem and Future Live Stream Focus: Petrut Bogdan initiated a postmortem discussion to identify areas for improvement for future events, and Pete Bernard suggested increasing the focus on “applied edge AI”. They both agreed that the previous event was missing more examples of deployment and application, suggesting that future conferences should aim for a better balance between technical “how-to” content and real-world application or use-case studies. Petrut Bogdan noted that finding customers willing to discuss their deployments might be a slow process.
• Next Conference Strategy and Industry Analysts: Petrut Bogdan proposed organizing the next conference around an application or use case theme, such as “anomaly detection in industrial use cases” or “neuromorphics for wearables for healthcare,” by inviting abstract submissions. Pete Bernard also suggested including an industry analyst or a high-level expert in the next live stream to provide an outside perspective on the neuromorphic space and set context for the technical presentations. Petrut Bogdan confirmed they know a person who fits this description and would reach out to them.
• Immediate Working Group Goals and Output: Petrut Bogdan outlined the next concrete steps, which include publishing a position paper or white paper on where neuromorphic technology fits into the edge, and continuing to plan the next conference. Pete Bernard supported the white paper idea and also championed the creation of an online knowledge certification module focused on neuromorphic fundamentals. This module is targeted to be ready by mid-year to help make people “literate in the space,” and Petrut Bogdan was encouraged to engage with the team running the program to develop the content.
• Collaboration with Open Neuromorphic and Government Initiatives: Petrut Bogdan discussed the potential for more specialized sub-groups and mentioned ongoing government-level investments in neuromorphic initiatives, such as a proposed neuromorphic application house between the UK and Netherlands. They also brought up the possibility of the Edge AI Foundation serving as a funnel for sponsorships for Open Neuromorphic to handle the administration. Petrut Bogdan intends to initiate a discussion with Open Neuromorphic regarding collaboration and restructuring, seeking assistance from Pete Bernard and Renaud Jolivet.

Suggested next steps

• Petrut Bogdan will start planning the next conference with an application or use case theme, inviting abstracts for specific use cases.
• Petrut Bogdan will have a chat with Open Neuromorphic about working together, and then will assist Renaud Jolivet and Pete Bernard with a follow-up activity.
• Renaud Jolivet will send an email to Petrut Bogdan to set up a call to discuss the open neuromorphic activities.
