Open source GPL Schematic and PCB Editing software

[Anton Erasmus]

Hi,

The following link for Schematic and PCB editing software has been
posted on the lpc2000 yahoo group.

http://www.lis.inpg.fr/realise_au_lis/kicad/

Looks like it runs under both Linux and Windows. The documentation is
mostly in French, and it looks like they are looking for people to
help translate the documentation into English.

Regards
Anton Erasmus

Here's a repost of another PCB post that you might be interested in. I get
plenty of email from it, so it's an active group. Maybe you could get
someone in that Yahoo group interested.

I could not find much info on users of FreePCB, so I started a Yahoo
group. FreePCB is an open source program for PCB layout. It works
with a PADSPCB netlist from any schematic package.

Come check it out and let us know if you are a user.

BTW, I forgot to mention that the membership at

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FreePCB/

is up to 110 now. This is the fastest growing group I have ever
started.

Obviously some people think it is an interesting and useful offering.

BTW Ian, I'm curious, what layout package do you use?
