I agree with Carl-Daniel here, we should focus on the positive not the negative. Publishing anything about Intel's stubbornness would probably come back to bite us in the ass one day. Karma, what you give, will always come back. It may not be tomorrow but someday it will come back.

write about Intel's refusal to cooperate?
The preferred way would be to focus any article on praising the companies supporting coreboot. We had a detailed list somewhere, we could dig it up and mail it to you. Usually, shaming companies into contributing doesn't work, but giving the good ones lots of good publicity strengthens the positions of coreboot supporters in those companies. Besides that, while the tech media like to bash "evil" companies every so often, writing about cool gadgets with cool features is what lures readers to them.
I'd suggest we wait with contacting any journalist until we can offer all the information needed for an article in one neat package.
