Hi,
first of all: sorry for the late reply! Somehow it got stuck in my drafts folder.
you guys work exclusively with x86-processors, am I right?
Currently, yes. But we also have an eye on ARM and are trying to extend our laptop portfolio towards it.
Can you give us some words about what you are trying to do with a potential developer in the future with your Firmware? Getting (further) rid of IME?
That's nothing really fixed yet and partly depends on the dev's knowledge and interest. The overall vision is to reduce proprietary, privacy intriguing and insecure features as much as possible. That of course includes IME but is not limited to it. Anything putting control back into the hands of the hardware owner is something we'd love to see. Therefore we are really open to ideas and wishes, as potential developers are part of our target group.
