Re: Speaking of Nodes
The best way to getting a fully open source 65nm or 45nm process technology is to help make the 130nm programs (and other future programs) successful.

There is a document at https://j.mp/si130nm which aims to provides some inspiration for what can be done with the currently available technology.
