The subject of this thread sounds like an advertisement for edacore. :)

Goals seem perfectly aligned. I don't feel so strongly about the name
Peter, but I certainly feel that we want to go in the same direction
which is what matters.

Sorry - thanks for the notice - it should be back online now or shortly.

However, I have made zero tangible progress on the edacore project since
FOSDEM last winter, but like Peter I do think that it is important for
the open source EDA tools to collaborate the common stuff.

In-person meetings are important, but voluntary transcontinental
travel is difficult, and developer time is difficult too.
