En alguna que otra ocasión hemos hablado de la empresa AutoDesk, una empresa que es dueña del famoso programa AutoCAD y que ha participado y participa en diversos proyectos relacionados con la Impresión 3D y el Hardware Libre. Pero ahora, parece que ha ido más allá.

David A. Mellis, one of the co-founders of the Arduino project recently announced via twitter your hiring by the company AutoDesk, una contratación que supone un gran paso para la empresa y para el proyecto Arduino, uno de los más importantes dentro del Hardware Libre.

Mellis has been hired for be one of the members of the Eagle Project, an Autodesk project that aims to create software that helps the user create electronic devices. Something similar to AutoCAD, but instead of being oriented to the world of plans and drawing, it will be oriented to the world of electronics. This will be a revolution for many companies that use similar but specific software for a certain phase of creation.

David A. Mellis will be one of the workers and creators of the Autodesk Eagle Project

And the most expected we still do not know. Mellis has not informed about his future participation in Arduino so we do not know if he will continue to support the project or will definitively abandon it in pursuit of Eagle.

In any case, this news is news that will not leave anyone indifferent, neither the Arduino Project, nor Autodesk nor even the various free projects in which AutoDesk helps, which will undoubtedly have the help of Mellis.

Arduino is a board or a project that tries to make electronics easy for everyone. This has made sea un proyecto exitoso pero también que el Hardware Libre llegue a muchos países and to many people. Let's hope it continues like this ...
