CERN BE-CO-HT contribution to KiCad

Announcement Evolution of CERN’s support to KiCad:

We now believe that KiCad is at a level of features and quality which makes it suitable for many of the PCB designs at CERN.The natural way for us to keep supporting it is, as for other EDA/CAD tools, to pay a commercial company to support CERN users through a dedicated group in CERN’s IT Department. As of today, we will close our donations site.

With this announcement from the project leader Javier Serrano, the “CERN BE-CO-HT Contribution to KiCad” project has ended.
