Idea: Friday Coreboot Wiki IRC Meeting - FCWIRCM
by Francis Rowe 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Friday Free Software Directory IRC Meeting or "FFSDIRCM" This is an event held in the #fsf IRC channel on FreeNode, every Friday starting in the evenings (Boston/Massachusetts time zone). Essentially, it is a weekly gathering where people collectively add/update information on http://directory.fsf.org/ which is a wiki dedicated to listing as many free software packages as possible. Coreboot (and also libreboot) are listed there. Of course, people also contribute to it at other times of the week, but Friday evenings are when there is the most activity. The idea is, that it is a set time each week where lots of people come together and try to improve the wiki as much as possible. This means that every week, there is a burst of activity; this is also when the moderators are most active, reviewing changes (coreboot wiki doesn't have moderators, so this isn't relevant there). Having such a date means that you are also advertising the existence of the wiki, encouraging more people to contribute, who would otherwise not contribute. Essentially, my idea is to have something similar for the coreboot wiki. Every week (on a set day - Friday evening is optimal, for various reasons), people would come together and improve the wiki as much as possible. This could be anything from adding pages about boards in coreboot which are not currently documented, improving existing pages, making the wiki easier to read, and so on. Anything that improves the efficiency of the wiki, so that it is a more effective source of information for coreboot users and developers.

Toolchain build failure on OSX
by Naman Govil 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

Hi, I have been trying to build the new toolchain on MacOSX. But building BINUTILS just keeps failing. I am using the toolchain builder v1.31 (June 17th, 2015) The output : Welcome to the coreboot cross toolchain builder v1.31 (June 17th, 2015) Target architecture is now i386-elf ERROR: Missing tool: Please install 'g++' utility. (eg using your OS packaging system) Downloading tar balls ... * gmp-6.0.0a.tar.bz2 (cached) * mpfr-3.1.2.tar.bz2 (cached) * mpc-1.0.3.tar.gz (cached) * libelf-0.8.13.tar.gz (cached) * binutils-2.25.tar.bz2 (cached) * gcc-4.9.2.tar.bz2 (cached) Downloaded tar balls ... ok Unpacking and patching ...

Attaching the build logs (./util/crossgcc/build-i386-elf-BINUTILS/build.log) with this mail too. Also, I tried building the older toolchain on the same machine (Macbook Air MacOS 10.9 Mavericks), and it succeeds. Here is the output : http://pastebin.com/1VTHRMmx Regards, Naman

No comment. I will not enter into this game... I think that, as a customer, I could express my concern and my opinions about the fact (not opinion) that I can't install coreboot into my computer. And I can complain about that. Simply as that. I am not interested if the company has a glorious history of open source or not. I have no time and effort to know that. Simply, I have a problem to solve and I pressure the company which causes it.

Thanks for all the detailed answer. It's a pitty. AMD is a "devil company". What can I do? Is there anywhere which I could email them? I could finance with 10 bucks or so... the beginning... ;-) Regards, > > > So yes, there has been work done, but it has been more frustration than > what I would call efficient development so far.

I think there will be some good opportunities. There will be a couple of different locations where a group could meet to do some coreboot work, so no need to rent a tent for that. I'll organize some space for us, but details will only be known very shortly before the event begins. //Peter

coreboot @ CCC Camp 2015
by echelon＠free.fr 17 Jun '15

17 Jun '15

Hi all, Quick question : does someone from the coreboot community plan to come to the Chaos Communication Camp 2015? For those too lazy to do a googling : the "Chaos Communication Camp" is an hacker event organised by the Chaos Computer Club in Germany and it takes place every 4 years. This year it will be organised from August 13th to 17h and it will take place in Mildenberg (some 30 km north of Berlin). So, innocent question : do you think that we can piggyback this event to organise some kind of mini-hackaton for coreboot? Is this realistical? (the minimal tent 3m x 6m comes with the price tag 658euro see http://events.ccc.de/camp/2015/wiki/Rent_a_Tent) What do think about that? Best regards, Florentin
