So - I have volunteered to speak again...

My talk (if accepted) will be:

Title:      Promoting friendship and collaboration between open-source
EDA projects
Subtitle: Diplomacy for developers and communities. Finding common ground and
ways to collaborate - whilst retaining project identities.

I have a certain amount I want to cover myself - but would also very
much be interested to hear any other peoples' ideas along the lines of
the title.

I plan to explore what motivates developers, why FOSS EDA tools exist
- and why both competition - and collaboration can be useful amongst
projects.


I feel like given my lack of progress on gEDA (and PCB) development
over the last years - I'm not really speaking on behalf of gEDA - just
as a developer who has seen a few things, partaken in his share of
arguments etc.., and likes to think he knows something about EDA
software.

As many will ask - I would also love to hear a brief summary of
progress with upstream gEDA, and PCB - so I can pass that on if asked
(and perhaps include a 1-slide summary in my talk. I understand there
has been a new gEDA release, for example - and I see Britton Kerin is
currently doing some work on PCB (now I fixed my email, and am getting
list-messages again!). Anything else noteworthy I've probably missed?


Regarding any talk suggestions - would appreciate a direct reply, not on-list.


Kind regards,

Peter
