A kickoff meeting for the development of Fieldmarshal plug-ins will be held at Enthought on May 8-9. The project will develop  plugins for the Envisage, the plug-in framework for scientific applications. Envisage is a part of the open source enthought package. The initial work on plug-ins will be the development of SimpleCAD. This component will provide a user interface for quickly defining and easily modifying geometry data. SimpleCAD will work directly with the other Fieldmarshal-specific plug-ins for Envisage to enable direct use of produce definition information for high frequency/high power devices by any tool that is designed to make use of the Fieldmarshal framework.
