Hi, it's almost "next year" now :)

Some of us at CERN are quite sure of attending FOSDEM 2015. I have
seen in their website that the deadline to request a dev room is 15
September. In addition to the projects mentioned above, we could
include the simulation people: ngspice, QUCS, gnucap, Icarus, ghdl...
Who would be interested if we organized a FOSS EDA dev room?

Cheers,

Javier
