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).
- Summary of the Open Hardware Summit (Tomasz Wlostowski).
- Open Hardware Licensing (Myriam Ayass).
- Discussion.
- 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.
- Open Hardware in Creotech (Grzegorz Kasprowicz).
- Open Hardware perspectives in National Instruments (Ravi Marawar).
- First experience in Seven Solutions (Eduardo Ros).
- Clear roadmap for Open HW in Instrumentation Technologies (Borut Repič).
- Arduino (David Cuartielles).
- The Facebook Open Compute Project (John Kenevey).
- Discussion.
Afternoon
- Session 3: Ongoing projects in labs and institutes. A selection of
current projects illustrating OH practice. Here we could also
discuss common platforms, both in HW and HDL.
- CERN OH developments (Erik van der Bij).
- OH developments in Soleil (Pascale Betinelli).
- The Rhino Project (Alan Langman).
- Discussion.
- 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.
- Makefile-driven HDL flow (Pawel Szostek).
- Icarus Verilog/VHDL (Pawel Szostek).
- How to design logic synthesis and place&route tools (Sébastien Bourdeauducq).
- GNU PCB (Larry Doolittle).
- Kicad (Dick Hollenbeck).
- What's missing in current FOSS PCB design tools (Tomasz Wlostowski).
- Discussion.
