+# 64bit PC Gadget Snap
+
+This repository contains the official Ubuntu Core gadget snap for 64bit
+Personal Computers using Intel or AMD processors. 
+
+## Gadget Snaps
+
+Gadget snaps are a special type of snaps that contain device specific support
+code and data. You can read more about them in the snapd wiki
+https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/wiki/Gadget-snap
+
+## Reporting Issues
+
+Please report all issues on the Launchpad project page
+https://bugs.launchpad.net/snap-pc/+filebug
+
+We use Launchpad to track issues as this allows us to coordinate multiple
+projects better than what is available with Github issues.
+
+## Building
+
+To build the gadget snap locally please use `snapcraft`.
+
+## Launchpad Mirror and Automatic Builds.
+
+All commits from the master branch of https://github.com/snapcore/generic-amd64
+are automatically mirrored by Launchpad to the https://launchpad.net/snap-pc
+project.
+
+The master branch is automatically built from the launchpad mirror and
+published into the snap store to the edge channel.
+
+You can find build history and other controls here: https://code.launchpad.net/~zyga/+snap/pc
