However I have the followings comments: # Colour It is my responsibility to point out that colour choices should follow the fedora colours similar to the one other fedora sigs are using. This maintain conformity with other fedora subprojects. It is important that those reading the brochure DO NOT converge to "FEL is a Fedora fork". The colour choices on this brochure are not the best choice for printing, independent of laser or ink-jet type . Black background should be avoided if the brochure is meant for printing. # content It seems to me that the contents for design tools are not really for FEL 10, but FEL8/9. The contents do not convey the goals on FEL in terms of our focus on design flows and methodologies. As well our support to projects like gEDA and opencircuitdesing, toped, pharosc,.. FEL is not only about the tools but also the opensource EDA community. Fedora 11 will be at our door soon. It would be nice to work for F11 and write the EDA solutions provided for FEL11. I would replace gwave by LabPlot as gwave is too fragile and breaks easily. I've explained before in my blog how to migrate to LabPlot from gwave. # The targetted audience Can you explain to me your targetted audience please ? I tend to focus on the following audience : - students/researchers - lecturers - hardware designers (even Test engineers) - project coordinators - new opensource EDA developers - field application engineers (who have never heard of FEL) - ...(but not software geeks) For each of them we need to be able to give "EDA solutions" and make them aware through the flyer that they can have those solutions and what are the features being proposed. At the same time we should use their respective jargon. FEL is not about the linux operating system but about the opensource EDA solutions on linux. So eventually, the targetted users are not the same in either case. But it remains our reponsibility to know where we stand. An example would be looking at how TMSC expose briefly his services http://www.tsmc.com/english/c_services/c_services_index.htm. # typo red hat is not "responsible" for the content. # too much urls I think too much urls consume space and our targetted users are not that stupid find the download button. This is briefly my thoughts. You are free to update accordingly if you want. ---------- While writing this email, I remembered some compliments we got from fosdem: -MaxSpevak : FEL is a very good example of innovative side of Fedora. -JeroenMeuven : FEL is the successful fedora spin since the spin idea came up during F7. -GregDeKonigberg: FEL came up to the opensource environment with a clear mind about a problem to fix, what the opensource community is missing and no one has stepped in before. - Glexos : FEL's leadership in its field(electronics) is an example for other opensource sigs to follow. Well, though these are good compliments, nevertheless they also mean that we have set a quality barrier and that we only have to do better each time. Thank you all to make this happen :) Kind regards, Chitlesh _______________________________________________ Fedora-electronic-lab-list mailing list Fedora-electronic-lab-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-electronic-lab-list
