## Abstract: Can you explain the whole project and its expected outcome(s).
+The current NLnet funding to date has allowed Libre-SOC to develop
+one of the most powerful Scalable Vector ISAs in the world.
+The 25-year-old Power ISA, developed and curated by IBM, was
+transferred to the OpenPOWER Foundation, and is the basis of
+Simple-V, the Draft Scalable Vector Extension.
+
+Simple-V *needs* to be submitted to the OPF ISA Working Group,
+for formal discussion and inclusion. Given that it is 380
+pages we expect this to be done carefully and incrementally.
+https://ftp.libre-soc.org/simple_v_spec.pdf
+
+However the
+process of submitting Requests For Change, at the time of writing,
+still has not been publicly announced and opened up. We expect it
+to be very soon, but obviously could not begin any RFC Submission as
+part of the earlier NLnet funding.
+
+We will also become informed very shortly of the procedures but anticipate
+it to include development and submission of Compliance Test Suites
+(already partly covered by Simple-V unit tests, kindly funded by NLnet)
+as well as ongoing work on the Simulator.
# Have you been involved with projects or organisations relevant to this project before? And if so, can you tell us a bit about your contributions?
+A lot!
