Supermicro X10SLM-F / Gerrit and how to contribute

[Andreas Bauer]

Dear all,

the other day I sucessfully flashed a X10SLM-F board to recent coreboot,
and discovered an inaccuracy in coreboot src for that board.

It seems that the original board support was developped on a X10SLM+-F
which has two Intel I120-AT network chips. The board I flashed on the
other hand is called X10SLM-F (missing the +) and has one I210 and one
I217 network chip.

To correct the error, I created a variant directory and overrode the
devicetree.cb with the correct configuration for the board.

Then I had a look at

https://doc.coreboot.org/getting_started/gerrit_guidelines.html

and now wonder how I can contribute a patch via Gerrit? I do not have any
OpenID nor do I wish to use any commercial entity. Note that I am also in
the process to divest all my data from Google, so I would prefer to not to
use the parts of my Google account still left.

Is there a way to contribute to Coreboot Gerrit in a privacy friendly manner
using just an email address and not having my data shared with any
commercial entity?

Thanks, Andreas

OpenID can be self-hosted, I've used SimpleID in the past.

But your hosting and/or connectivity might still need some commercial entity...
