It will address the mechanics of converting a hardware design into a kit or finished product, such as selecting parts, using CAD tools, selecting a PC board house, preparing documentation, and preparing for support. It will also address intellectual property issues, and in particular explain how you can use Open Source licenses in your software project. Although the Seminar will focus on the TAPR design philosophy and process, it will be valuable for anyone contemplating a ham radio product or kit, or just wanting to learn how today's tools make it easy to create printed circuit boards. Lunch Time! ------------------------------ Lunches will be served Friday and Saturday noon time. This way you do not waste any time. Once the last talk of the morning is done, lunch will be waiting. Then one hour later you are back listening to the next speaker. The cost is $15.00 each meal. You can sign up for lunch on the DCC web site or pay at the conference. It is best to get your order in as soon as possible so that we can order the proper amount of lunch.
