[Fedora-electronic-lab-list] Re: Introducing FEL to, prospective students

[David John]

Hi Shakthi
    I will also be presenting at Barton Hill on 21st, but on a different 
topic. I will bring a full chip plot and also be taped-lid sample for 
the same chip, students can get an idea of how a finished layout and 
corresponding sample device will look like.

Regards
David
