Learn to Code KiCad - FOSDEM 2020
The first ever Learn to Code KiCad event happened in Brussels, BE on Friday, Jan 31. We had 15 new KiCad developers from Europe and the United States in attendance. 12 unique issues were addressed by the participants, ranging from OpenGL display on ARM hardware to cursor offset bugs to Eeschema rubberbanding.
Wayne, Ian, Jon and Seth served as sounding boards for user questions and provided some guidance on where to find needed information.
At the end, we had a couple of merge requests and much progress from a motivated team of future contributors.
Coming up Next
Our next Learn to Code KiCad event will be at the FOSSASIA 2020 Summit in Singapore, March 22nd. Please fill out this form if you’d like to participate! We look forward to seeing you in Singapore.

KiCad Hackathon At CERN

A cadre of KiCad developers including Wayne Stambaugh, Tom Wlostowski, Maciej (Orson) Suminski, and Simon Richter along with some potential new developers Michele Castellana and Alejandro García Montoro gathered at CERN for a KiCad hackathon the week of July 4th to July 10th organized by CERN’s Javier Serrano. There was even enough time to take a trip to visit the KiCad project founder Jean-Pierre Charras. It would be a gross understatement to say that a good time was had by all.
