Hello Everyone,

Are you attending ICCAD in San Jose this week? Even if you’re not, but you are in Silicon Valley Wednesday afternoon Nov-12, here is your opportunity to see what EDA bloggers look like in real life. (Here’s a secret… we wonder what you look like all the time). And best of all… it’s FREE and you don’t need to be registered for ICCAD to attend.

Ed Lee (of Lee Public Relations) and Sean Murphy (of SKMurphy, Inc.) have organized a EDA Bloggers’ “Birds-of-a-Feather” meeting, to be held at 4:00 PM in the Fir Ballroom at the San Jose DoubeTree Hotel. If you are thinking of starting your own blog, this will be a great place to start by meeting a group of the EDA industry’s most experienced bloggers. The event will feature a mix of bloggers from EDA companies, journalists, users and EDA consultants. I will be joining this group of my fellow bloggers for a 3-minute “Lightning Talk” on the topic of how to develop an audience for your blog.

• Karen Bartleson http://synopsysoc.org/thestandardsgame/
