Well, well, well... if it isn't the second Tuesday of the month? And what could that mean? I don't know... maybe a BRAND NEW EDITION OF EL CORREO LIBRE, THE PREMIER OPEN SOURCE SILICON NEWSLETTER!
This time we have the honour to present two smashing FOSSi events, a whole bunch of retrocomputing projects and much more. Enjoy! https://fossi-foundation.org/blog/2026-01-13-ecl93

It's the second Tuesday of the month, which of course is our favorite Tuesday of the month. Why? Because it means a new issue of El Correo Libre, the premier newsletter for open source silicon. This month we're looking at FOSSi AI from Ainekko, A new C++-based HDL from Mike Reznikov, EDA LLMs from The University of Edinburgh and much more. Enjoy!
