Format & topics
Program
The two days mix:
- Short presentations introducing projects in the space
- Longer presentations on open problems in Open Silicon
- Tutorial sessions to help other participants get started with specific tools and projects
- Group discussions and working sessions aimed at starting collaborations
We’ll fix part of the agenda ahead of time based on input from participants, and leave room to shape the rest live — enough structure to be useful, enough slack to stay interactive.
