I don't remember who mentioned it yesterday but someone was lamenting the fact that the TDK's won't be ready for the GSF. I might be wrong but I got the opposite impression from the nr. Here's a quote from the nr with highlighted text by me. Keep in mind this is under the TDK heading.

"Technical Development Kits (TDK)

In addition to optimizing device parameters and yields, the Company is focusing on establishing POET's technology design kits (TDKs). The TDKs comprise a comprehensive design rules and device parameter library for POET, and will enable customers and partners to implement the POET process into preferred foundries. The TDKs will also help licensed designs in a POET device ecosystem to proliferate and help existing silicon library functions to migrate to POET technology-based circuitry in a minimum amount of time.

The Company is reporting that, with the help of select potential POET Development Alliance (PDA) partners, progress on this milestone is ahead of the schedule set by the former Special Strategic Committee. Copetti noted, "It is gratifying to see our excitement shared by others, and we hope that excitement will be infectious as we head into the Global Semiconductor Forum. We have a relentless focus on securing our intellectual property and in forging ties to industry, and this positions POET Technologies in its drive to extend Moore's Law to the next level."

By enabling increased speed, density, reliability, power efficiency, and much lower bill-of-materials and assembly costs, POET's disruptive technology will allow continued advances of semiconductor device performance and capabilities for many years, overcoming the current power and speed bottlenecks of silicon-based circuits, and will change the future development roadmaps of a broad range of semiconductor and other applications including mobile and wearable devices, computer servers, storage arrays, imaging equipment, and networking equipment."

To me, "this milestone" referrenced in the second paragraph under the TDK heading of the news release refers to the full POET TDK documentation release milestone(#11) which, according to the Corporate Overview, is targeted for Q1 2014. If they are saying they are ahead of schedule I think there is a very real possibility that they taking the finished TDK kits with them to Singapore. Hence the shared excitement as they "head into the Global Semiconductor Forum."

Am I wrong?

Also, lets not forget to read the word "potential" in front of "PDA Partners". Nothing is signed yet it appears. But I do like the plural use of the term. :)
