Please leave a comment or contact me to let me know if I have overlooked or incorrectly categorized anything. I will update this list for posts in August that offer substantive coverage of events at Design Automation Conference 2009 (see also “DAC46 in the News” for pre-conference coverage).

Update Mon-Aug-3: As I mentioned in my comments to John McGeHee below:

If you write a blog post that reviews an event, a day, or DAC as a whole with some substantive commentary I will include a link to it. I assume that more reports will come in until the end of August, so go ahead and take the time to write up your impressions and insights.

Update Tue-Aug-4: Continuing to refine structure by adding subcategories to day by day and conference recap organization.

Update Sat-Aug-8: More updates, Mike Demler‘s daily recaps are detailed, he has also made them available upon request as a single PDF. Kevin Morris analyzes attendance and other data from the last half a dozen DAC’s in “Dueling DACs.”

Update Sat-Aug-22: More updates, list now covers more than 110 posts by more than 50 authors. Please let me know if I have overlooked any, I will continue to update this list until the end of August.

Update Mon-Dec-29: Richard Goering included this post in his “Notable EDA Blog Posts For 2009” roundup. It’s a good list, and worth reading if you found the list below useful.

Wow, what a wrap up! Thanks for finding all of these.

Very nice work. I will send this out to the people at my client who did not make it to DAC.

Next year announce that you will do this, give a deadline and I will see if I can write a post as well.

John, I am still adding links to substantive commentary.

[…] DAC 2009 is truly well and over, but it is still a topic of interest. Sean Murphy has a page pointing to a host of blog posts about it – before, during and after – that is an excellent resource. There continues to be an active discussion of the announced attendance numbers, and what they mean (see, for example, Kevin Morris, Paul Mclellan and Lou Covey). I’ve come up with my own thoughts, in no particular order, that might lead to improvements in the conference: […]

Hi Sean,

The original post on my blog offering a PDF of my DAC report was inadvertently deleted, so the link in your 8/8/09 update is no longer valid. I re-posted the information at http://the-world-is-analog.blogspot.com/2009/08/repost-get-pdf-of-my-3-day-46dac-report.html.

Thanks,
-Mike

Fixed.
