Design Automation Conferece (DAC) Video About Moving EDA Tools to Open Source
by Tiago Oliveira Weber
The 53rd Design Automation Conference had a great discussion about opportunities for open source tools on the Electronic Design Automation world and market models for existing companies. Luckily for all of us, the panel video is available online on YouTube's DAC TV channel with the title "Lanza’s Tech Vision Challenge: Daring to Move to Open Source". The moderator was Lucio Lanza (from Lanza TechVentures) and the panelists were Warran Savage (from IP Extreme), Mark Templeton (from Scientific Ventures) and Michael Wishart (from eFabless).
In my opinion all participants were very rational on their statements although having different points of view. I, as an open source advocate, felt very glad this type of discussion is taking place in such a relevant conference and with people that know from the inside out how the current EDA business works.
