CERN BE-CO-HT Contribution to Kicad
This project has been set up to facilitate the contribution of CERN's BE-CO-HT section to the Kicad Printed Circuit Board design tool development. Kicad is a Free/Libre Open Source Software Tool which runs on GNU/Linux, Windows and Apple OS X. It is licensed under the GPLv2 license. The objective is to help enhance Kicad in such a way that it becomes an efficient tool for PCB design which people can use to share their design information without compromising productivity, in close collaboration with the current main Kicad developers. We think that Kicad can do to PCB design what the gcc compiler did to software: ensure there are no artificial barriers to sharing so that design and development knowledge can flow more freely. This contribution is part of our efforts in Open Source Hardware. We intend to describe our planned tasks and their progress using a list of work packages.
