Description

OpenTech the open source solution for the electronics design provides this
network is to list open source tools and designs useful for the electronics designers and to provide them with alternative solutions to the commercial tools and designs.

The aim of this list is to privde a comlete list from A-Z to make electronics design only based on open source tools and with open source designs.

This network will provide web links to the tools and designs with a small description to each of them and the latest news about them. All these tools and designs are included in the OpenTech package
