+# Welcome to LibreSoC
-The Libre-SoC project is an effort to develop an completely
-SOC that is libre to the bedrock.
+> We're gonna build a chip. A fast chip. A chip with lots of peripherals. And a gpu. Here have the source code.
-Libre has a very specific meaning and guarantees, where "open" does not.
-See <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html>
-for an explanation of the distinction, and for additional examples:

introduce yourself, and read through
[recent posts](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/pipermail/libre-riscv-dev/)

pique your interest.

we are also working on procuring more funding which gets the project to
nanometre scale tapeout.

## Needed Skills
Most labor is currently being applied to developing the GPU portion of
-the LibreSOC.
+the Libre-SoC.
The highest priority needed at the moment is a c++ engineer to work on
-a MESA 3D driver. This will begin life as similar to SwiftShader however
-retaining the vectorisation and predication intrinsics.
+a MESA 3D driver. This will begin life similar to SwiftShader however
+retaining the vectorisation and predication intrinsics as well as hardware accelerated opcodes (all of which SwiftShader lacks)
Medium to long-term we need HDL engineers. Particularly those familiar
with nMigen or just python. Most of the techniques being used require
