Re: gEDA-user: Guerilla marketing...

<on-topic plug>Our little company, Evil Mad Science LLC (
http://evilmadscience.com/ ) has a similar model-- Most of our products
are open source hardware kits that were designed in gEDA.  We're not shy
about it; whenever possible, we point out that the projects were done with
gEDA, and we make the design files available in pcb format.

It is a goal of ours to increase adoption of open-source hardware tools; I
think we've actually managed to get quite a number of people to look at
gEDA with our designs. :)
