Fwd: Your application for support from the STF

Hi all, I got a reply from the Sovereign Tech Fund, and we'll be discussing funding for fixing and extending OpenLane as part of the LibreSilicon project. I'll keep you up to date on how it's going and in case I manage to get finances for this secured, it will be possible to earn a couple of bucks by writing code for OpenLane as part of the LibreSilicon team. Cheers -lev

[FOSDEM] [CfP] Call for participation: Libre-SOC, FPGA and VLSI at FOSDEM 2024
by Jacob Lifshay 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

# Call for Participation - Web version of this CfP: <https://libre-soc.org/conferences/fosdem2024/fosdem2024_cfp/> This email is a Call For Participation in the **Libre-SOC, FPGA and VLSI Devroom** at FOSDEM 2024. Key dates: - Friday, 1st December, 00:00 (CET, UTC+1) - CfP deadline - Friday, 15th December, 00:00 (CET, UTC+1) - Devroom schedule and final speaker confirmation - **Saturday, 3rd February** - First day of FOSDEM 2024 - Saturday, 3rd February - Libre-SOC, FPGA and VLSI Devroom date - **Sunday, 4th February** - Second day of FOSDEM 2024 ## Useful links - Libre-SOC, FPGA and VLSI Devroom Schedule: <https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/libre-soc-fpga-and-vlsi/> - Libre-SOC homepage: <https://libre-soc.org> ## CFP Introduction This devroom covers topics mostly related to hardware design (FPGA and VLSI/ASIC). Libre-SOC is a major project in the open-hardware/free-software space, and will be sharing progress made so far in areas of efficient SVP64 assembler, formal verification, and general Power ISA development (proposed advanced biginteger instructions, etc.) Libre/Open VLSI, very excitingly, has begun to take off, recently. NLnet sponsors several VLSI-related projects (Cell Libraries, HDL, VLSI tools), Efabless and Skywater bring 90nm, 130nm, 180nm MPWs to the masses. Please distribute widely to interested parties: anything related to VLSI and Libre/Open Tape-outs and Silicon development is welcome. We are looking for any libre or open source topic relating to hardware design, including but not limited to: - Chip Design (including nanoscale 3D printing) - VLSI and FPGA Hardware Design - Libre/Open Processors in FPGA and/or ASIC - ISA design and usage This year we welcome talks that are either: * 10 min (lightning talk, short introduction of project/topic) * 25 min + 5 min Q&A (normal slot) * 40 min + 10 min Q&A (extraordinary slot for a topic that needs a deeper explanation) ### What is FOSDEM? **FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate.** Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. FOSDEM 2024 will take place on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 February 2024. It will be an in-person event at the **ULB Solbosch Campus, Brussels, Belgium, Europe.** If you are unable to attend in-person you can watch any live stream from the main tracks and developer rooms. ### Important stuff: - FOSDEM is free to attend. There is no registration. - [FOSDEM website](https://fosdem.org/) - [FOSDEM code of conduct](https://fosdem.org/2024/practical/conduct/) - [FOSDEM Schedule](https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/) ## Desirable topics: This devroom welcomes anything related to making an ASIC, or designing one, or using FPGAs, or developing an FPGA Board, or developing tools and techniques that make VLSI ASIC design easier: we'd love to hear from you. Here's a list of topics: - Open Hardware projects - ISA and Architecture design * Simplified Vector extensions - VLSI ASIC Design and Manufacture * Libre/Open DIY Foundries (nanoscale 3D printing) * Libre/Open VLSI tools and toolflow * Libre/Open VLSI Cell Libraries * VLSI Simulation and Verification - VLSI Tools in use or in development * Silicon-proven (QFlow, coriolis2, OpenLANE) * Under development (LibreEDA, other) * Advances in Algorithmics in Place and Route and Layout - FPGAs * Libre/Open FPGA designs * FPGA toolchains and Reverse-Engineering * FPGA workflow - VLSI RTL and HDL * Advanced and innovative alternative HDL tools * Formal Correctness Proofs * Testing methodologies * Hardware Trust (and how to break it) - Software Engineering as applied to Hardware * Continuous Integration for VLSI * Automated tool development (RTL to GDS-II) * Automated testing ### Topic overlap There is quite a lot of overlap this year with: * [Open Hardware and CAD/CAM](https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/open-hardware-and-cadcam/), * [Embedded, Mobile and Automotive](https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/embedded-mobile-and-auto…, * [Open Source Firmware, BMC and Bootloader](https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/open-source-firmware-bmc…, ## How to submit your proposal To submit a talk, please visit the [FOSDEM 2024 Pretalx website](https://pretalx.fosdem.org/fosdem-2024/cfp). Click **Submit a proposal**. Make sure to choose the **Libre-SOC, FPGA and VLSI** devroom in the track drop-down menu (otherwise we might miss it). ### What should be in your submission - Name - Short bio - Contact info - Title (funny titles are ~~required~~/appreciated) - Abstract (what you're going talk about, supports markdown) - Duration On the second page of the submission form: - License, please use **CC BY-SA 4.0**. - Resources to be used during the talk ### Optional: - Description (more detail description, supports markdown) - Submission notes (for the organiser only, not made public) - Session image (if you have an illustration to go with the talk) - Additional speaker/s (if more than one person presenting) The second page will include fields for: - Extra materials for reviewers (optional, for organisers only) - Additional information about the speaker (optional). ### Recordings *(thank you to the Open Hardware and CAD/CAM devroom for this snippet)* The talks will be recorded and live-streamed during FOSDEM2024. The recordings will be published under the same licence as all FOSDEM content (CC-BY). Only presentations will be recorded, not informal discussions and whatever happens during breaks between presentations. We require affirmative consent to this license. Please include the following statement in your submission notes: ``` If my presentation is accepted for FOSDEM, I hereby agree to license all recordings, slides, and other associated materials under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0 International License. Sincerely, <NAME> ``` Once you've completed the required sections, submit and we'll get back to you soon! ## Things to be aware of * The reference time will be Brussels local lime (CET) <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/belgium/brussels> * There will be a Q/A session after the talk is over. Please make sure that you will be available on the day of the event. * If you're not able to attend the talk in-person, live stream links will be available on the FOSDEM schedule page: <https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/>. * FOSDEM Matrix channels are specific to each devroom, the general link is: <https://matrix.to/#/#fosdem:fosdem.org> * **Matrix bridge to the LibreSOC IRC channel**: <https://matrix.to/#/#_oftc_#libre-soc:matrix.org> * FOSDEM 2024 FAQ: <https://fosdem.org/2024/faq/> ## Important Dates - **December 1st: submission deadline** - FAQ - is the submission deadline final? - Yes. The new submission system is stricter, and thus the, 1st of December is the final date. - ASAP: announcement selected talks (15th Dec or earlier) - February 3rd: FOSDEM!
