Hello gEDA/PCB users, I wonder, is there perchance a local user group in Southern California similar to the Freeedaug on the East Coast? Or if there is no established group, are there any individual gEDA/PCB users in Southern California who might be interested in starting such a group?
I would really like to find someone local from whom I could learn how to use PCB for simple tasks. Because of the way my brain is wired, tasks that are inherently graphical by their nature (such as PCB layout) are very unnatural and difficult for me, so I know I will probably never do my own complex PCB layouts of professional quality, instead I'll have to outsource them like I did with the OSDCU (Ineiev did an outstanding job in my opinion!), however, I would like to at least be able to do simple things with PCB. I would like to be able to view existing layouts and examine areas of interest to me, make minor edits and do my own layouts of very simple boards that have maybe 2 or 3 components and fewer than 10 or so traces. My difficulty is that my disability when it comes to graphical tasks makes it harder for me than it would be for an average person, so whereas a "normal" person would have no difficulty learning how to use PCB from the various resources on the web, I think I would need to learn from someone I can interact with in person. Hence I wonder if there is anyone local in Southern California who would be willing to teach me some basic use of the PCB GUI. I do have pcb-20081128 installed and working with the lesstif HID on my Slackware Linux laptop.
