 Even though gaf is very much a part of gEDA, the gEDA name does not necessarily only apply to gaf – tools gathered under the “gEDA” moniker include many other programs. Indeed, gEDA refers to **any** GPL'd EDA tool which decides to associate itself with the gEDA website/​mailing list. Important examples of gEDA tools include the layout program [[http://​pcb.geda-project.org|PCB]],​ the Verilog compiler [[http://​www.icarus.com/​eda/​verilog/​|Icarus Verilog]], the analog circuit simulator [[http://​www.gnucap.org/​|gnucap]],​ and the open-source SPICE simulator [[http://​www.ngspice.org/​|ngspice]]. Many other gEDA programs also exist. Even though gaf is very much a part of gEDA, the gEDA name does not necessarily only apply to gaf – tools gathered under the “gEDA” moniker include many other programs.

-Come to the Free EDA Users Group (Freedog) meeting. ​ These meetings are an informal way to meet some of the gEDA developers and users. ​ The meetings are held in the metro Boston, MA (USA) area.  Sometimes they are held at one of the developer'​s homes, while other times they are held at a local cafe.  Meeting times vary, so send an e-mail to the geda-user mailing list for more information.
