Hello there, I'm looking for promotional materials about xcircuit, magic and netgen that I could use for my new project "Fedora Electronic Lab".
Let me explain in more details: I was working on providing open source VLSI applications (such tools from opencircuitdesign.com and Alliance VLSI) on the next Fedora 8 (for november). My initial objectives were the Introduction to Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) Design Flow and the required tools available on the Fedora Collection for ASIC Design Flow (for Micro-Nano Electronic Engineering) and at the same time ensuring interoperability between packages. After receiving some feedbacks from the fedora community, the objectives got wider till a point that it was tagged with a name "Fedora Electronic Lab". Now the latter covers every package for electronic simulation available on fedora. Last week, "Fedora Electronic Lab" was approved to be a _feature_ for Fedora 8. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraElectronicLab Possibly Fedora will be releasing customized livecd only for this FEL. If fedora does, then xcircuit, netgen and magic will be on the livecd ! some work has already been started: http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/livecd-fedora-electronic-lab.ks http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/FEL/rpmlist Now, time has come to write documentations to show the world that : * there are open source tools for electronic engineering * there is an active and growing open source community (e.g this mailing list is a perfect example) * and the most important of all, real work can be achieved! I'm using fedora ambassadors to go to major linux events (linuxtags, linuxworldexpo...) and to talk about open source EDAs in order to spread the word around the world. Right now, I'm contacting every one from developers to users to tell me (the intention of this email) : * how they would market xcircuit, netgen and magic * whether they already have slides they want to share * what are the products/projects you have accomplished and that you are proud of it * if you are using these tools in your company, tell me :) I may add the name of your company in my slides (IF you want) thus doing free publicity for you. * if you are using these tools in your university or education institutions, I'll be more than happy to hear from them. I'll be gathering these information from various open source projects and will try to merge all these into one big slide. Thus, * I can guide the fedora ambassadors so that they can spread the right word about these tools * any one can use this big slide for other presentations (not only people from fedora) thanks, Chitlesh -- http://clunixchit.blogspot.com
