Hello, guys,

I am very pleased to have the chance to talk with you.
I hope I do not bother you.
My name is Shawn Bai, and you can call me Shawn, it's OK.

I am very interested both in the low-level in embedded system, and in
BIOS level in desktop computer or server.
I get to know this open source project while I browse the internet.

I think it's a very good project to help me understand what happens
within the system, even more.

Is there anything I can do to make coreboot better?
I have some work experience in embedded system low-level development,
mainly in Board support package.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

Shawn Bai

You could look into the issue raised in the other thread and try to
unify `acpi_table.c` [1].

Some more random notes.

1. To handle patches more easily¹ you can also use Git [2].
2. Please just send plain text messages to the list [3].
3. Another way to contact or talk to the developers is the IRC channel
[4].

I am looking forward to your contributions,

Paul

¹ At least Sven told at the LinuxTag that handling patches with
SVN/Subversion and no commit access is a real pain.
