The next DeLUGE meeting is May 5th.  Please forward this notice on the
meeting.  The same text is on the website at: http://www.delugeny.org


      Electronic circuit design using gEDA and Linux

Speakers:
   Ales Hvezda -- gEDA: an end-to-end circuit design suite.
   Stuart Brorson -- Analog circuit simulation using SPICE on Linux.

Electronic Design Automation (EDA) refers to using computer-based
tools for electronic circuit design.  EDA is an important branch of
the software industry served by three major corporations and many, many
smaller companies.  As you might expect, Linux is playing an
increasingly important role as an EDA platform.

One active project working on bringing EDA tools to Linux is gEDA.
gEDA (GPL Electronic Design Automation) is a suite of GPL'ed circuit
design tools offering enough power to perform small to mid-sized circuit
design.  The gEDA project was initiated by Ales Hvezda, and has grown
to include around a dozen contributors and hundreds of users under his
stewardship.  Ales will talk about doing electronic design using gEDA.
Accompanying him is Stuart Brorson, who will talk about analog circuit
simulation using SPICE on Linux.
