[ilug-tvm] Re: International Conference on Freedom in Computing Development and Culture organized by FSF and IT Mission

[David John]

Hi Ashik
  Are there speaker slots available/open? I am working with a chip
industry veteran, Kamesh to develop VLSI education and chip design on
an open source platform. Kamesh will be interested in coming and
speaking about this upcoming niche area. He has more than 15 years
experience in chip design and is currently involved in putting
together a VLSI startup.

Regards
David
