+   \item Endless proprietary drivers \\
+   		 (affects product development cost)\vspace{15pt}
+   \item Opportunity to drastically simplify driver development\\
+	     and engage in "long-tail" markets\vspace{15pt}

+\vspace{15pt}
+
+ \begin{itemize}
+   \item Good ecosystem essential\\
+   		 linux kernel, u-boot, compilers, OSes,\\
+   		 Reference Implementation(s)\vspace{12pt}
+   \item Supportive Foundation and Members\\
+   		 need to be able to submit ISA augmentations\\
+   		 (for proper peer review)\vspace{12pt}
+   \item No NDAs, full transparency must be acceptable\\
+	     due to being funded under NLnet's PET Programme\vspace{12pt}
+  \end{itemize}
+}
+
+\frame{\frametitle{Why OpenPOWER?}
+
+
+ \begin{itemize}
+   \item RISC-V: closed secretive mailing lists, closed secretive\\
+   		 ISA Working Groups, no acceptance of transparency\\
+   		 requirements, not well-established enough
+   \item MIPS Open Initiative website was offline
+   \item ARM and x86 are proprietary (x86 too complex)
+   \item OpenRISC 1200 not enough adoption
+   \item Nyuzi GPU too specialist (not a general-purpose ISA)
+   \item MIAOW GPU is not a GPU (it's an AMD Vector Engine)
+   \item "rolling your own" out of the question (20+ man-years)
+   \item OpenPOWER: established for decades, excellent Foundation,\\
+   	     Microwatt as Reference, approachable and friendly.
+  \end{itemize}

+
+ \begin{itemize}
+   \item Actually about parallelism, not Vectors (or SIMD) per se\\
