I can hardly believe it. I’ve been in the EDA business since 1980 when I joined TI’s Design Automation Department after graduating from Cal Poly with my BSEE. Since 1995, much of my attention has been focused on EDA standards. I reached a moment of truth this year when I admitted, albeit reluctantly, that I could be called a standards-lifer. So, I decided it’s time to share my perspectives on what’s going on in the standards arena. Welcome to my blog - I can’t wait to hear from you!
This category is for some of the silly things that happen in EDA standards.

Do you think that EDA standards can be exposed to open community via some public WIKI? Similar to Wikipedia? Then community would be able to participate on these standards more freely and openly …
I think it’s a very good idea. As a matter of fact, Synopsys pioneered open source standards for the EDA industry in May, 2000. These standards can be found at Synopsys’ TAP-in website.
Also, most EDA standards from formal organizations are open for everyone to participate in. A non-comprehensive list can be found at http://www.eda.org.
As social media becomes mainstream, EDA standards groups can take advantage of modern means for community involvement.

Duh. I like the name of this thread

Just an idea.
Thanks,
