For a party I would suggest Europe :) ?
hello everyone, from France ;-)
first of all, let me say a happy birthday to the coreboot project and big thanks to all its past, current and future contributors...
btw, there's an international meeting in my neighbourhood concerning also the aspects of open hard/soft-ware next month : the LSM in Nantes, France from the 7th to 11th of July 2009 (http://2009.rmll.info) what a pity, that nobody would give even a small presentation of this project :-((
secondly, i would like to know if it's possible to have an 'open wiki' on the coreboot to allow translation ? i kknow, because i'm a scientist too, that english/american is the de facto natural language for software projects, but IMHO translation of webpages and software (gettext...) is a good way to make it visible worldwide... of course, i would be happy to contribute to the french one, some time to time ;-)
thirdly i would like to mention, is that, after reading a lot of documents available for this project, i can happily better understand the overall process of booting... ...but i must admit that there are still some parts that remain magical and all these hexa values give me headache :-D
another consequence, is that most of these informations, even essential, are quite indigestible for the everyday computer user, so at least, introducing a User Manual, a small 'howto for the newbies' or 'coreboot for the dummies' should be a good thing, to let them understand, install and contribute more easily to the project
sincerely yours Geraud Guibert
