Hello Peter and all,
just watched your 2016 FOSDEM talk - funny thing is that we are actually
doing a lot of things in pcb-rnd that you were talking about in that
presentation about how EDA tools should cooperate. I'd say there's a
3/4 match and only 1/4 mismatch (or disagreement) between what we are
practically doing and what you described there.
I've also re-watched Peter Stuge's 2015 talk about edacore.
These three things together:
- the generic idea of how EDA tools and dev teams could cooperate,
- some parts of the edacore idea,
- the speed of development, openness, compatibility with other tools in
pcb-rnd,
could really combine into something bigger than the pure combination of
individual tools.
During the past few days, just before this thread happened, I was thinking
about this. I called it "FOS EDA ecosystem". I may publish some writups
about it later. A day or two before this thread, I realized I was actually
already implementing this, just never really thought about it. Now that
this thread is up too, I propose we try to rethink/reboot edacore
together (or if that's not possible, do something else under a different
name that suits everyone). I also invite anyone who is interested in this
effort to the irc channel of pcb-rnd (server: repo.hu channel: #pcb-rnd)
Regards,
