The EDA developers are hardware designers, people who are not excited by GTK/QT API but current/voltage/capacitances/slew rate/. For Fedora, you will need software developers. I would rather let the existing EDA developers work and improve their design tools. On the other hand, I welcome new Fedora contributors to include these design tools into fedora and help to maintain the balance. Currently there are 3 layers in this approach: 1) EDA developers outside fedora 2) Fedora contributors 3) FEL Users The main thing is we should first know where we stand! During the 3 years, I have seen many EDA developers have migrated to Fedora/Centos. Svilen Kvilen has commented about this thread. He is the upstream developer for Toped and is using Toped in his daily paid job. It is worth looking at. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-electronic-lab-list/2009-January/msg00016.html regards, Chitlesh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
