Please be short and to the point in your answers; focus primarily on
the what and how, not so much on the why. Add longer descriptions as
rather than pay for proprietary software that, apart from being incredibly
expensive, could potentially compromise the integrity of the project.
-We therefore intend to collaborate with engineers from the Laboratoire
-d'Informatique de Paris 6, to use and improve their VLSI Layout tool,
-Coriolis2, in conjunction with Chips4Makers, to create the layout that
-Chips4Makers will then put into a 180nm 300mhz test chip.

-tools for VLSI backend layout, from the Laboratoire d'Informatique de
-Paris 6.
+tools for VLSI backend layout, from LIP6.
# Requested Amount
-EUR $50,000.
+EUR 50,000.
# Explain what the requested budget will be used for?
* Essential augmentations to nmigen to make it ASIC-layout-capable
All of these will be and are entirely libre-licensed software: there will
-be no proprietary software tools utilised in this process. Note that

# Does the project have other funding sources, both past and present?
## Describe the ecosystem of the project, and how you will engage with relevant actors and promote the outcomes?
-We have a pre-launch Crowdsupply page up and running already, at
-https://www.crowdsupply.com/libre-risc-v/m-class through which we will
-engage with developers and end-users alike. Developers will be invited
-to participate through the http://libre-riscv.org website and resources.
+LIP6 have their own mailing list for the (transparent) discussion of
+issues related to coriolis2: <alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr>. The Libre RISC-V
+SoC has a full set of resources for Libre Project Management and development:
+mailing list, bugtracker, git repository and wiki - all listed here:
+<https://libre-riscv.org/>
-The Crowdsupply page has already been picked up by Phoronix, Heise.de
-Magazine, reddit and ycombinator. There is a lot of interest in this
-project.
+In addition, we have a Crowdsupply page
+<https://www.crowdsupply.com/libre-risc-v/m-class> which provides a public
+gateway, and heise.de, reddit, phoronix, slashdot and other locations have
+all picked up the story. The list is updated and maintained here:
