Some preliminary thoughts on an agenda for the Open Hardware Workshop
This workshop will be held during the Sunday preceding ICALEPCS 2011, i.e. 9 October 2011 in Grenoble, France. There will be a participation fee of 50 euros to book the venue. This fee includes a pack lunch. Below is a first draft of the program with ideas for further discussion. Please subscribe to the OHR Meta mailing list if you wish to take part in the discussion.
Morning
- Session 1: Introduction and legal framework. This will be an opportunity to define exactly what we mean by OH and discuss the latest developments on the legal side, such as the recently-published CERN Open Hardware License.
- Session 2: Business models. It is very interesting to discuss the role(s) of companies and how they can make business under an open paradigm.
Afternoon
- Session 3: Tools. Most of our tools are not open themselves yet. Here we can discuss about what is the current offer and possible future plans. This affects mainly HDL simulation and PCB design.
- Session 4: Ongoing projects. A selection of current projects illustrating OH practice. Here we could also discuss common platforms, both in HW and HDL.
