Milkymist was founded in summer 2007 by Sébastien Bourdeauducq. The open source project tackled the development of a system-on-chip design capable of running MilkDrop. The name "Milkymist" was chosen to evoke a parallel MilkDrop. The development was no small task, as it required designing and/or integrating a powerful 32-bit microprocessor core, basic peripherals, many interfaces, a fast SDRAM controller, and graphics acceleration. The video synthesizer born out of those efforts, the Milkymist One, was launched in September 2011 with the help of open hardware company Sharism at Work.
-Components of the Milkymist system-on-chip soon found many other uses, such as software-defined radio on board the International Space Station. The community grew and activities diversified, with the development of a TDC core for CERN (using a variant of the Milkymist SoC for integration), the Migen logic design system and its application to the Rhino software-defined radio platform, and the Mixxeo digital video mixer. In 2013, Milkymist was renamed to M-Labs to mark the more varied activities. It is formally incorporated as M-Labs Limited.

We'd love to hear from you! Here is how you can communicate with us.
-For most questions and feedback, the best way is to use the mailing list. If you do not know how, simply send your message to devel at lists dot m-labs dot hk. Sébastien's email address is sb at m-labs dot hk but it is often better to use the mailing list (for example, other people may reply to technical questions, and answers stay archived and searchable).
-A good means of contact is also the IRC channel #m-labs on Freenode.
-Finally, you can follow our Twitter account.
-Patches should be sent to the mailing list, preferably using git-format-patch. Please do not use GitHub pull requests.
+For sales inquiries, email sales@m-***s.hk. You may also write to Sébastien or Robert respectively at sb@m-***s.hk and rj@m-***.hk. For questions regarding SolveSpace, write to Peter Zotov at pz@m-***s.hk.
+For technical inquiries, ask on the IRC channel #m-labs on Freenode, open a GitHub issue in the relevant project, or write to the mailing list devel (for Migen/MiSoC) or ARTIQ.
+Patches should be sent via a GitHub pull request, or to the mailing list preferably using git-format-patch.
-Far outpacing Moore's law, the growth of genomics, sequencing the genetic code of all living organisms, is predicted to overtake the volumes of other major generators of large-scale data such as astronomy, streaming video, and social media. Much of this revolution has been driven in Hong Kong and just across the border in Shenzhen, but has gone under the radar here. The effects of this are already touching all our lives, and our health and wellbeing in the 21st century. To better equip the people of Hong Kong with the literacy and training to make informed decisions and work in this new genomic era we launched Bauhinia Genome, a grassroots, citizen science project using the crowdfunded sequencing of the genome of the Hong Kong emblem to better understand where it came from, and train local students to assemble and analyse the data. Crucial skills needed for this field to advance, as well as engage the public through local pride.
