OK. That happened (Funding)

Hi folks So on Wednesday, 10 am Portuguese time, I'm having a ZOOM conference with the other folks of the Photonics lab at INL, where I'll be showing a presentation I'm right now tinkering together. The goal is to use LibreSilicon in combination with their Integrated Photonics, in order to build neuromorphic chips. By becoming part of Jana's research project (she's a professor for photonics at INL), she and I can make LibreSilicon part of the university projects which would make it subject to direct EU funding. Just a heads up. Cheers -lev

Libresilicon status & PR

Hello Everyone, I just went across this reddit post on Libresilicon project: https://www.reddit.com/r/chipdesign/comments/kcjfo9/thoughts_on_libresilico… Basically, there are two major points visible here. First: it sounds if it were a necrolog for the project. Based on this, it seems our third-person public image is that we are still in an university lab in HK, not showing any progress or result in the past 1-1,5 years. Is it possible for us to counter this argument somehow, and put that on some visible place (e.g. the twitter account or on the website)? Back in 2019, the time the project moved to INL, there was a plan to make some sort of "legal entity" to interact with NLnet and INL. What is the status regarding this? Second, it seems that the final objective of the project (developing the tech node and selling ICs (Arduino clone, 555, SoC, ...) made on it, or providing the fabrication as a service, or just develop the node and leave it floating, or selling the maskless stepper as a product, or whatever) and how the project wants to reach it is not entirely clear from outside. I think this needs to be addressed and clarified. @David: Were you able to take contact to JBD? What is the status of the microscope-stepper system? Is info on it is public, or it is the private attraction of INL? Regards, Ferenc Éger
