The Free Silicon Conference returned to Paris in 2023. There were plenty of great talks and I really enjoyed the conference. I was able to interview the organiser and several speakers: Luca Alloatti - organiser Thomas Benz - PULP Jørgen Kragh Jakobsen - his work on open source silicon in Denmark Thomas Parry - startup founder of Spherical Systems Rene Scholz - Open source PDK from IHP Microsystems Dan Fritchman - Analog tools Harald Pretl - Mixed signal design You can find all the recorded talks here.
