Re: gEDA-user: [OT] gEDA Linkedn group

[Steve Meier <smeier@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think geda groups should be where geda users are. Linked in has the
advantage of being able to see which companies geda users work for and
who they work with. This might be the start of a way to market geda into
larger stronger engineering organizations.

>From my perspective. Sourceforge is about the code, features, bugs and
documentation. Facebook and linkedin are about the people.
