I work in a mixed group of engineers and physicists...we build our own HF gear for research specific needs. I haven't been directly tasked with any electronics layout work yet... and the EE's have so far not be interested in looking at the open tools on their own. I keep finding that I don't have much success getting people to adopt open tools, unless I'm working on something and actively using the tool myself that I can show them. People are far more receptive if they watch me over my shoulder working on something...even if its poorly done project...because I'm an idiot...they end up admiring the tools even if the project is crap...they just blame me. I'm actually really interested in knowing what are some successful strategies for introducing gEDA/gaf in a group setting. Not a LUG. Like at a conference or workshop setting. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
