Hi dear Coreboot@ list,
my name is Philipp and a am applying for the Google Summer of Code to work at Coreboot.
I first thought of working on Power8/9 support, but I think that it would take a while until I could help you at all with this, so maybe I will try to contribute there after the GSoC when I know the rest of Coreboot better. So I applied to work at supporting zlib as a compression algorithm and maybe update lz4 and lzma, if needed. Feel free to tell me if you have any comments/suggestions regarding this project.
About myself, I am currently studying for my Bachelor's Degree in CS in Darmstadt, Germany, since 2020. If I'm not working or studying, I do some IoT and soldering things, because I like low-level microcontroller and blinky-blinky stuff. ESPecially on ESP32 boards.
I also pushed a first commit, doing some linter fixing, if you want to check it out [0].
Regards, Philipp
