ORConf is back!
ORConf is back! We've returned with yet another open source chip
design tour de force courtesy of the brilliant community, our first
since the previous outing in Bordeaux in 2019. The years have been
kind, it seems to us all; with much progress to be presented and
discussed over the three days being hosted by the
University of Applied Sciences in beautiful Munich.
