Procedure for Submitting IBIS Models for Inclusion in the IBIS Model Library.
DRAFT
September 9, 1994
Michael Steer <mbs@ncsu.edu>
Vendors and others are encouraged to submit IBIS models to the IBIS model
library. The models are maintained by the IBIS librarian who can be reached via
email at ibis_librarian@vhdl.org.
1. Before submission models must be readable by the Golden Parser with out
errors or warning messages being generated.
2. A submission should consist of the following:
a. A readme file ( named IBIS.RED ) including the following
** Isn't README.TXT more common?
Name of Person Submitting: XXXXXXXXXXXX
Address: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Affiliation: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
E-Mail: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Telephone Number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Fax Number: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Suggested Top Directory XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx
** What is considered the "top" directory? How about "Sugg. directory structure
location:"
Structure for models
b. A Model Transfer Agreement (sample below) must be signed and mailed to
the IBIS librarian see vhdl.org:/pub/IBIS/models/library.faq.
** Mike, I'd put your mailing address in this file, rather than point somewhere
else. When this data changes, the first task of the new librarian will be to
update this file.
** Are faxed copies OK?
The model check-in procedure will not be finalized until this agreement
has been received by the IBIS librarian. Check with the librarian via
email using the address ibis-librarian@vhdl.org (not yet established).
c. All files should be
gnu tar'ed and uuencoded
OR tar'ed and compressed and uuencoded
OR zip'ed and uuencoded
into a single file before mailing. Files should be mailed to the IBIS
librarian. Expect an acknowledgement within two days.
** What about FTPing them to vhdl.org? Then you don't need to worry about mail
problems.
3. When models are received:
a. The following will be added to each IBIS file:
[Disclaimer] IBIS Open Forum disclaims all warranties. See disclaim.txt
in vhdl.org:/pub/IBIS/models for full disclaimer.
b. The IBIS models will be checked with the Golden Parser and if they parse
successfully they will be accepted.
4. The IBIS models will be treated as confidential until they are publically
released. When new models are added, an announcement will be made.
5. The Librarian may change from time-to-time and so the file
vhdl.org:/pub/ibis/models/library.faq should be consulted for contact
information. However the librarian can always be contacted via email using
ibis-librarian@vhdl.org.
** What does the .faq suffix stand for?

SAMPLE
IBIS Model Transfer Agreement
The under-signed submitter has submitted the following models to the IBIS
library (list model filenames)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hereafter these will be referred to as the "Work".
The submitter represents that the Work can be made publicly available.
Furthermore the submitter represents that the Work does not infringe on the
proprietary rights of others.
** I know Intel will not indemnify the models, so the above line will not work
for many companies.
The model files will be provided as is except for the addition of the following
statement to each file:
IBIS Open Forum disclaims all warranties. See disclaim.txt (see sample below) in
vhdl.org:/pub/IBIS/models for full disclaimer.
If the models were written as a work made for hire in the course of employment,
the Work is owned by the company/employer which must sign this agreement in the
space provided below.
