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! # Requested Amount -- 2.30.2
