If you are interested in learning more about blogging or how it’s affecting the evolution of the EDA industry, please attend and lend your ears and your perspective. There will be plenty of time for a serious conversation with a number of bloggers from different points on the EDA compass–users, vendors, journalists, consultants…
Please contact me if you are interested in attending and want to put some questions or topics on the list for the open discussion forum.

There is a mailing list for EDA bloggers at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/edabloggers/ It’s is a very low traffic (1-2 messages a month) moderated E-mail distribution list for announcements and other notices of general interest to EDA Blogging community. It’s intended to help coordinate Birds of a Feather and other events for bloggers at EDA related conferences and other venues.
Most folks are choosing to talk about different aspects of what they have learned from blogging. This is a good cross section of folks and their talks should jumpstart a variety of interesting discussions in the two hours that we have.

Sorry I missed the BoF session. Do you know if someone is going to post a summary? Better yet, did someone record it? Youtube :-) ?
6. Sean Murphy | November 12th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
Harry, I believe there will be several summaries posted. It was a very good session that covered a number of topics. We had a chance to address a number of practical issues related to blogging as well as speculate a little on the future of both the EDA industry and social media. It was a delight to meet several folks and be able to “put a face to the name/e-mail.” I will get my summary up by next week.

When I asked him “why?” he pointed at Sean Murphy (the organizer of the meeting), who came back with the perfect analogy. “Why advertise cup holders when you’re selling a Cadillac?” […]
