<p>Milkymist was founded in summer 2007 by Sébastien Bourdeauducq. This 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 <a href="m1.html">Milkymist One</a>, was launched in September 2011 with the help of open hardware company Sharism at Work.</p>
<p>Components from the Milkymist system-on-chip soon found many other uses, such as <a href="jpl_letter.jpg">software-defined radio</a> on board the International Space Station. The community grew and activities diversified, with the development of a <a href="http://www.ohwr.org/projects/tdc-core/wiki">TDC core</a> for CERN - using a variant of the Milkymist SoC for integration, the <a href="gateware.html">Migen</a> logic design system and its application to the Rhino software-defined radio platform, and the <a href="mixxeo.html">Mixxeo</a> 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.</p>
<h2>Get in touch</h2>
<p>We'd love to hear from you! Here how you can communicate with us.</p>
<p>For most questions, the best way is to use <a href="http://lists.milkymist.org/listinfo.cgi/devel-milkymist.org">the mailing list</a>. If you do not know how, simply send your message to devel at lists dot milkymist dot org. Sébastien's email address is sb at this domain name but it is often better to use the mailing list (for example, other people may reply to technical questions, and theirs answers also stay archived).</p>
<p>A good means of contact is also the <a href="https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=m-labs">IRC channel #m-labs</a> on Freenode.</p>
<p>Finally, you can follow our <a href="http://twitter.com/Milkymist_Labs">Twitter account</a>.</p>
<p>Patches should be sent to the mailing list, preferably using git-format-patch. Please do not use GitHub pull requests.</p>
