[Fedora-electronic-lab] TAPR Open Hardware License
by Shakthi Kannan 14 Dec '09

14 Dec '09

Hi, Can you please clarify if the TAPR Open Hardware License is an accepted license for Fedora? If not, should we check with Fedora Legal? If yes, how do we package the content to FEL? http://www.tapr.org/ohl.html Thanks! SK -- Shakthi Kannan http://www.shakthimaan.com

[Fedora-electronic-lab] vhdl standard 2008
by Chitlesh GOORAH 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Hello there, GHDL developers seem to claim standard 2008. However our GHDL package doesn't seem to be. We have a bug report tracking this feature. I would like to request if someone, who is already using std 2008 or even experienced with it, is willing to create some simple testbenches so that we can test then against ghdl development snapshot. I'm hoping that before F-13 release we can create a list of those features supported. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=542338 thanks chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab] pcb : updated command reference doc
by Chitlesh GOORAH 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hello there, The current layout of the PCB command reference PDF document (the one currently being shipped) is broken. It looks like it on life support. http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/pcb/refcard_old.pdf I've updated only the layout of refcard.tex http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/pcb/refcard.tex to give http://chitlesh.fedorapeople.org/pcb/refcard.pdf . Unfortunately, I don't have enough time currently to update it to the latest key shortcuts. Can you guys please apply it to the next release ? I hope someone will update it in the meantime, else I'll dig into it next year. Chitlesh

[Fedora-electronic-lab] Video tutorials
by Tom varghese 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

Hi there, I am ready to make some video tutorials of FEL which will be very useful for beginners. I first tried 'recordmydesktop' which is not much good. Please suggest one good screen recorder program for fedora 12 gnome. I think there is no any video tutorials for FEL available. Thank you all -- Knowledge is free. Free means open source... http://opentechlab.blogspot.com
