Does Kicad have anyone working with these folks? Found this on semiwiki.com
Hemant enthusiastically replied, *“We encourage anyone interested in improving board design processes to join the consortium – there is no fee, and no contracts. There are both corporate and associate levels of membership, based upon the level of participation of interest. Our web site provides lots of information, including the current approved standard and the discussion underway for new enhancements in the next revision.”* http://www.ipc2581.com/articles-and-blogs/ *“Also, at the upcoming IPC APEX EXPO 2018 conference, designers, EDA companies, and manufacturing and assembly houses will be sharing a wealth of information on IPC-2581.” *http://www.ipcapexexpo.org/html/default.htm IPC-2581 is clearly not “just another standard”, in reference to Professor Tanenbaum’s quote. This activity has already improved processes and procedures for PCB design data exchange and release, *saving money*. Its adoption will undoubtedly (and rapidly) become more pervasive. John Eaton
