+
+Hey folks,
+
+The [wafer.space GF180MCU Run 1 campaign](https://www.crowdsupply.com/wafer-space/gf180mcu-run-1) just went live on Crowd Supply! 
+
+For those who haven't been following along: [wafer.space](https://wafer.space) brings the [OSH Park](https://oshpark.com) model to silicon. $7k gets you 1,000 dies. That's $7 per chip from GlobalFoundries' [GF180MCU](https://gf180mcu-pdk.readthedocs.io/) process. Real production quantities, not just a handful of prototypes.
+
+Efabless shutting down earlier this year left the open silicon community without a clear path to fabrication. I started wafer.space to rebuild that infrastructure with transparent pricing, predictable timelines, and no gatekeeping - and it's even more affordable now!
+
+## [The timeline](https://www.crowdsupply.com/wafer-space/gf180mcu-run-1#schedule)
+
+- **November 28**: Last day to buy a slot
+- **December 3**: GDS submission deadline
+- **March 15, 2026**: Target ship date for dies to customers
+
+## What you're getting
+
+20mm² on [GF180MCU](https://gf180mcu-pdk.readthedocs.io/), replicated 1,000 times. This is the same mature 180nm mixed-signal process used for tons of production chips and the two [Google open MPW runs](https://developers.google.com/silicon). Five metal layers, MIM caps, poly resistors - all the basics you need for mixed-signal designs, MCUs, sensor interfaces, whatever.
+
+## Get involved
+
+Jump on our [Discord](https://discord.gg/43y2t53jpE) or [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#gf180mcu:fossi-chat.org) if you need help with pad rings, DRC issues, or just want to see what others are building.
+
+Subscribe for future updates including reference designs, highlights of projects being built on GF180MCU, interviews with community members, and technical deep-dives into how things work behind the scenes.
+
+This is about enabling open, community-driven silicon manufacturing to grow and expand. Let's make it happen.
