If l had had more time (and sleep) than on Thursday morning at LAX after two nights with almost no sleep, the executive summary would have been shorter.

Hi Please all join the mumble session in two hours, so that we can discuss the final details of this text.
Also. Do I also have to write such a multi pager (Executive summary) as Christoph did?
Cheers David

the rest is ok, it is a little long (it is supposed to be a single paragraph), however you probably get away with it. although, the lines about "arduino", there's really no reason to mention that.
actually, the entire last 3 lines from "After democratising" can probably be cut... probably mention "GDS2" earlier on...
ok try this
LibreSilicon aims to reduce the steep entry barriers to full custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design. and help people to regain trust in their computing devices, right at the bedrock: when they are manufactured. LibreSilicon provides a standard for manufacturing semiconductors which allows platform independent process design kits (PDKs) and design rules that allow manufacturing the same chip layout in any factory that has calibrated their process according to the LibreSilicon specs with the PearlRiver test wafer and uses GDS2. By introducing this process standard, full custom ASIC design will become available to private persons without corporate or academic access to IC foundries.

LibreSilicon: A free and open source semiconductor manufacturing process standard
LibreSilicon aims to reduce the steep entry barriers to full custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design. LibreSilicon provides a standard for manufacturing semiconductors which allows platform independent process design kits (PDKs) and design rules that allow manufacturing the same chip layout in any factory that has calibrated their process according to the LibreSilicon specs with the PearlRiver test wafer. By introducing this process standard, full custom ASIC design will become available to private persons without corporate or academic access to IC
foundries.
After democratizing software development with tools like Arduino, and PCB design with tools like KiCAD, LibreSilicon will democratize
ASIC
design, and GDS2 will become the new Gerber file format for semiconductor manufacturing.

Hi
Any updates from NLNet?
Yeah. I'm supposed to write an introduction paragraph for LibreSilicon to the European union now.
But I've got no idea how to start it... Maybe something along the lines from our website content... I'll try to send Michiel the following and see whether it's ok.
========= LibreSilicon: Introducing a free and open source semiconductor manufacturing process standard
The goal of LibreSilicon is to provide a standard for manufacturing semiconductors which will allow for quasi platform independent process design kits and design rules which allows to manufacture the same chip
layout in
any factory, which has calibrated their process according to the
LibreSilicon
specs, using the PearlRiver test wafer. By introducing this process standard, GDS2 will become the new Gerber file format for semiconductor manufacturing. =========
