Announcement [Evolution of CERN’s support to KiCad](https://groups.google.com/a/kicad.org/g/devlist/c/hzI0n6cJDgA):
|
|
|
> **We now believe that KiCad is at a level of features and quality which makes it suitable for many of the PCB designs at CERN.**<br/>The natural way for us to keep supporting it is, as for other EDA/CAD tools, to pay a commercial company to support CERN users through a dedicated group in CERN’s IT Department. As of today, we will close our donations site.
