-## Why a Libre 3D CPU / GPU / VPU?
-
-* Study of SoCs (Allwinner, Rockchip, NXP) shows none are fully Libre
-  - Either GPU driver firmware is proprietary, or VPU firmware, or bootloader
-* This causes customer product development issues
-  - https://tinyurl.com/valve-steam-intel
-* Businesses are waking up to lack of transparency
-  - Intel Management Engine (spying backdoor co-processor)
-  - Spectre, Meltdown, CSME (Chain-of-Trust) issues
-* Solution: full transparency.  All source available for everything.
-
-## How is LibreSOC being developed?
-
-* Using Libre (rather than "open") development practices
-  - no "I'll release it when it's ready": all development is real-time public access
-* No NDAs, no hidden discussions
-  - we can invite anyone (any expert) to help with review
-  - free to ask for help anywhere in the world (comp.arch, stackexchange)
-* Using litex, nmigen, opencores HDL
-  - heavily depending on python OO (not possible with VHDL or Verilog)
-  - leap-frogging ahead by not reinventing the wheel
-
-## What is being developed? Roadmap
-
-* First simple core achieved in simulation Sep 2020
-  - FPGA (ECP5) target followed shortly
-* First silicon tape-out 180nm deadline 2nd Dec 2020
-  - sponsored by NLnet, with help from Chips4Makers Libre Cell Libraries
-  - layout is entirely libre-licensed tools: coriolis2 from lip6.fr
-* Next chip is "SBC" style quad-core
-  - similar spec to Allwinner A64, Rockchip RK3399
-  - targets "Pi" boards, smartphones, tablets, Industrial IoT
