We are proud to announce the birth of the Free Silicon Foundation (f-si.org)!

We organize a conference in Paris, March 14-16 2019, to promote:

1. Free and Open Source (FOS) CAD tools for designing circuits
2. the sharing of hardware designs
3. common standards
4. the freedom of users in the context of technology

Dear Fediverse,

we want to host a instance for meetings with up to 100 participants.

Can somebody recommend a setup which scales to this number?

We have in mind to rent a dedicated server at Hetzner. Unfortunately, this is difficult to test ahead of the meeting.

A RISC-V chip with with secret RTL (not to mention the layout) does not qualify as open-hardware. Otherwise MS Word would be open-source software just because it implements the Open Document Format (ODF).
