So, this doesn't appear to have been announced by google. It does seem to be real but the OP may be jumping the gun a bit.
The authoritative source seems to be the slides of this guy at google: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRtwZPc8ykkkgtUkHkoJZrP9jKOo3FYdKqbg-So0ic6_kx7ha1vHnxrWmuxWkTc9GfC8xl0TfEpMLwK/pub?start=false&loop=false&delayms=3000#slide=id.g8a02ce4cad_0_207 https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/e/2PACX-1vRtwZPc8ykkk...
From the slides this is "current plans, subject to change".
This is an 'open source shuttle process'. Shuttle processes are a relatively cheap way of making small numbers of chips (it is actually more costly per chip, but the fixed cost is smaller). There will be some kind of approval process, and I would imagine that there is a capacity limit for both the number of chips and number of projects.
(I didn't have time to watch the talk, so the above is just from the slides)
- cottonseed 6y agoMaybe watch the talk first before commenting? All these questions are answered in the talk.

- ajb 6y agoWell since you evidently did have time to watch the talk, perhaps you also have time to enlighten us about these questions. If not, maybe don't criticise those of us who used at least some of our time to dig out some information for the thread.
- mav3rick 6y agoYou could have just watched the talk instead of reprimanding him.
- rudedogg 6y ago- You get somewhere around ~100-400 chips, TBD later - Each shuttle run will accept 40 projects, if more than that apply a selection process will be used. A lottery was mentioned as a possibility. - First shuttle run this November Like you mention everything is just planned at this point, but the speaker said these were roughly their goals.
- ajb 6y agoThanks. That sounds about what I expected.
