+by Luke Leighton.  bio:
+
+Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton specialises in Libre Ethical Technology.
+He has been using, programming and reverse-engineering computing
+devices continuously for 44 years, has a BEng (Hons), ACGI, in Theory
+of Computing from Imperial College, and recently put that education to
+good use in the form of the Libre-SOC Project: an entirely
+Libre-Licensed 3D Hybrid CPU-VPU-GPU based on OpenPOWER. He writes
+poetry and has been developing a HEP Physics theory for the past 36
+years in his spare time.
+
+## Abstract: Overview of the Libre-SOC Project
+
+The Libre-SOC Project aims to provide a mass-volume processor with
+3D and Video capability built-in to the ISA, for use in end-user products
+such as smartphones netbooks chromebooks tablets and Industrial SBC/IoT.
+It is a massive project, starting small and being developed "smart".
+
+Why it is being created - at all - can be easily guaged by examining
+the littering of systematic failures by multiple large Corporations:
+Intel Management Engine, Qualcomm leaving 40% of the world's smartphones
+vulnerable to hijacking, Apple drive-by WIFI zero-exploits, Supermicro
+de-listed from NASDAQ, Huawei, Smartphones shipping by default with
+Trojans, and many others.
+
+Efforts to fix this (Fairphone) simply do not go far back enough down
+the chain.  Just as Google sees the only solution to Rowhammer to be
+to create a Libre/Open LPDDR4 Memory PHY and Controller (because the
+existing RTL providers cannot be trusted to solve it properly), we
+see the only solution to be to take full responsibility for creating a
+suitable full-on Embedded high-end multi-core System-on-a-Chip, done
+entirely Libre.
+
+This talk will therefore provide a high-level overview into some of the
+technical decisions behind the "why", in order to achieve such a
+ridicuously-ambitious goal in a "smarter" (rather than "work harder")
+innovative way.
