Has anyone figured out how you can even see what the abstracts are some of the titles there mean absolutely nothing to me I would like to see all the information available before making any decisions. Especially on the roadmaps and tech panels where the word Allegro is completely missing from the titles! -----Original Message----- From: Bye, Randy W [mailto:Randy.Bye@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 10:00 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: CDNLive! Conference You should also know that the 4 of us, Charlie, Andy, Carl, myself all volunteered to work on the new CDNLive steering committee, but our offer was turned down by the Cadence CDNLive management team.

Conference I'd also like to add to that the former cadence champions Ed Hickey, Steve Durrill, and Dennis Rockwood were not involved in the organization of this years CDN live, and I should probably just stop right here with that said. -----Original Message----- From: Kulik, Andreas [mailto:akulik@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 07, 2005 7:50 AM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Re: CDNLive! Conference Hi George, I have to stick up for the "former" ICU PCB SIG members (Charlie Davies, Randy Bye, Carl Musetti and myself). We have not been involved with the organization of CDNLive and this years PCB content. In addition, we are not members of the new Steering Committee that organizes this event. Regards Andy PS: In case some people on this forum are interested in seeing some pretty cool PDM/PLM stuff just stop by at the Vendor Fair/ Exhibits... (Ed, thanks for the good wishes.) -----Original Message----- From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of george.h.patrick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 7:30 PM To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [PCB_FORUM] CDNLive! Conference I have just finished looking over the schedule for the upcoming CDNLive! conference. Am I the only one disappointed in the new "look and feel" of this event? There are maybe 10 hours of things that are of use to PCB designers, 14 if I hang on until Thursday afternoon. This is compared to ~60 hours at the last conference. This is just what I hoped wasn't going to happen, but I guess I should have known better. It's what I have come to expect from Cadence and their total lack of interest in anything other than IC design. And thanks HAVE to go out to whoever championed this scheme to the PCB SIG officers. The results show how much thought and time went into it, they are to be commended. I am supposed to convince my manager to pay for me to send me to this farce and keep me down there for 4 days so I can attend 14 hours of sessions. Right -- George Patrick Tektronix, Inc.
