Hi, I am Jinyi Yan , a second year PhD candidate from Shanghai Institute of Micro-system and Information Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. I used to be a mainboard BIOS engineer in ASUS Technology Suzhou Co., Ltd for about two years (2007.7~2009.2). My major now is optoelectronics. But I have a lot of fun while programming, in my heart the working experience of being a BIOS engineer is still very exciting. I think GsoC is a nice platform for me to participate the open source community. When I search the GsoC projects and organizations, the coreboot and flashrom projects are definitely the right choices for me. I have a spare ASUS P5KPL PC at my hand, but the chipset is not in the support list of coreboot project. As Stefan Tauner's suggestion, maybe porting coreboot to new mainboard or implementing advanced coreboot features on exsiting mainboards are nice too. Now I'm not very familiar with the program structure of coreboot, so I expect your guidence and hope to contribute for coreboot and flashrom even if my application is not accpeted. Thanks! Look forward to your kind advice! Regards, Jinyi Yan
