No, one does not have to be on Cadence maintenance to log in to the cdnusers.org community site.

Does a person have to be on a maintenance contract to log into the proposed forum? -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Austin Franklin Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 1:29 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: Announcing the Transition of the ICU PCB Forum to CDNUSERS.ORG Hi Mike, Not that I don't appreciate Cadence's efforts, but the fact is, we don't *need* (nor asked) Cadence to do anything. Email lists can be setup by anyone and there are numerous of well working email list hosts out there today. The problem is no one discussed this here first. This seems to be a "bureaucratic" decision instead of a democratic one, and someone believed this was an OK think go do. I'm not saying it is or isn't, but it does expose the belief. It may or may not be a better "method", but without discussion, having it simply decreed, means we have no say in it, except to or not to participate.
