ICALEPCS 2013 pre-conference Open Hardware Workshop
After the success of the 2011 workshop, this one will take place in San Francisco on Sunday 6 October 2013. Please subscribe to the mailing list if you want to participate in the discussions about the organization of the workshop or just be kept up to date. Registration for the workshop is open: please use this link to register. For any questions regarding the workshop, you can contact Javier Serrano.
Preliminary (almost final) program
Session 1: Intro and Legal Aspects
- A general intro talk. OH concepts, the current state of affairs, etc.
- Knowledge Transfer at CERN, with a focus on Open Hardware. Giovanni Anelli, head of CERN KT (pre-recorded talk and remote Q&A).
- OH licensing, John Ackermann (pre-recorded talk and remote Q&A). Try to place this talk somewhere between 11:00 and 14:00 PST.
Session 2: Experience in institutes and companies
- CERN's experience.
- LNLS's experience.
- Soleil's experience.
- Creotech.
Session 3: Tools
- A talk about Kicad status and future prospects.
- A talk about Icarus Verilog status and future prospects (Steve)
- CERN might be ready with a talk about a tool to create HDL filters automatically (libre-fda-tool).
- Migen (maybe combined with the libre-fda-tool talk).
- VPCIE, an open source PCIe device virtualization framework developed at the ESRF.
Daniel:
- Some kind of more structured "round table" where we could explicitly see the open and key points of OH and discuss them. Maybe we could define a set of fundamental questions and propose them to the audience.
- Set a permanent and unified space to discuss any kind of Controls HW for Physics/Large Experiments subjects. Conferences are great to put people together, expose latest advances and promote discussions, but these roles could be complemented by a virtual counterpart where the discussions can be tracked by anyone anywhere at any time in the future. The workshop videos could be put online and open for comments so as to give a broader reach to the talks.
Steve:
- I think we might want to carve out a little time at the end of the Tools session for unstructured interaction between the tool authors (those that are present) and users, current and potential.
Javier:
- We could reserve some time to discuss funding models for FOSS tools for HW development.
