FOSS Science and Technology Software Unidentified 2018/09/29 (Sat) 19:20:02 No.2099

Any scientists or engineers that opt to use FOSS software on their spare time or even at work if you're crazy when everyone uses proprietary. I'm currently in uni in burgerland and most of the software we use are proprietary. I would like to avoid using them as I can. But checking on what companies expect you to know they often mention these proprietary programs.

It's important that the use of FOSS programs start from our education in order to cause a shift in the industry that thus the standards who feel compelled to opt for the proprietary option

Here are some software that is often kept up and used:
KiCAD
GNURadio
OpenPLC
gEDA
Qemu
