An interesting conversation arose from this talk. If you or someone you know is trying @kicad_pcb for the first time, record yourself/your screen as you try things and get confused. This is invaluable to the KiCad team as they see how to usability could be improved #kicon2023

. @kicad_pcb 7 supports clickable links in the schematic, perfect for pointing your coworkers to that important appnote they shouldnt miss out on.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the open hardware cad/cam devroom @fosdem was denied for the first since we started in 2015. I was looking forward to seeing our community in person again and hearing about your awesome progress.

The new @kicad_pcb v6.0 is great, and they didn't even tell you about the experimental "build_board" easter egg!

Kicad is the first (so far only) open source project I've contributed to. It's really exciting to be part of such a big release!
I've been working on KiCad V6 for over 4 years (yes, since before V5 came out). Today we tagged RC1, and the 6.0 release is on track for next month. It's a great feeling :)

Quick update: We've been able to connect with the appropriate people. Thanks everyone for the help! Hopefully, we'll be able to get rid of the bogus website soon

If you find any links on the internet to the old domain kicad- pcb .org (not linked on purpose) make sure to ask the website owner to update it to the correct domain kicad.org The more people that help with this the lower the impact to the project.
