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. The list of talks below will grow with time until it forms a complete program. If you want to participate in the workshop, please use the official registration page (notice it is certainly possible to attend only the workshop instead of workshop+conference, by using this link).
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.
- Open Hardware: what, why, how, when, who (Javier Serrano).
- Open Hardware Licensing (Myriam Ayass).
- Summary of the Open Hardware Summit (Tomasz Wlostowski).
-
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.
- First experience in Seven Solutions (Eduardo Ros).
- Open Hardware perspectives in National Instruments (Ravi Marawar).
-
Session 3: Discussion.
Afternoon
- Session 4: 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.
- GNU PCB (Larry Doolittle).
- Icarus Verilog/VHDL (Pawel Szostek).
- Kicad (tbd).
- Makefile-driven HDL flow (Pawel Szostek).
- How to design logic synthesis and place&route tools (Sébastien Bourdeauducq).
- What's missing in current FOSS PCB design tools (tbd).
- Session 5: Ongoing projects. A selection of current projects
illustrating OH practice. Here we could also discuss common
platforms, both in HW and HDL.
- CERN OH developments (Tomasz Wlostowski).
- OH developments in Soleil (Pascale Betinelli).
- Session 6: Discussion.
