I will talk about KiCad's role in the Open Hardware design movement and how it is remarkably similar to the early days of the Free, Libre, Open Source Software (FLOSS) movement and what it means for the future of Open Hardware.

A state-of-the-union talk by KiCad's project leader.

A demonstration of the new features in version 5 of KiCad, along with a quick state of the union, by KiCad's project leader.

A session to discuss the current landscape for FOSS PCB design tools and possible paths moving forward.

This talk will discuss the status of the current stable version 5 release of KiCad and road map for the version 6 release of KiCad.

A brief discussion about the stable release branch 4 of KiCad as well as goals for the next development cycle and beyond.

Panel discussion on PCB design tools.

A brief look at the past, present, and future of the KiCad project. The discussion will be primarily on what near and long term future development is planned for the project as well as discussing the potential for collaboration with other EDA projects.
