Hi
In light of a recent decision by the coreboot leadership, I would like to announce my departure from the project. I believe the one-year ban of Nico Huber is unjust and a poor decision for the community. Unless professional reasons compel me otherwise, I will be leaving the project for at least the same amount of time.
Most of what I did this year was done in my free time. Out of the 104 patches I submitted to main since January, Nico reviewed 49. From a practical standpoint, this is a disaster.
I do want to end this chapter on a positive note. I learned so much from this community and have had an incredible experience to be part of it, so thank you a million times! Interacting with this community has been a blast!
Learning from people and giving back to others is one of the most rewarding things one can do in life. That's why I believe the future of firmware must be open source. The communities that form around such software align so well with our deep human nature.
I think open-source firmware has a really bright future ahead, and I hope to be part of it somehow. I have a cool firmware project in the pipeline that I look forward to sharing one day.
Thanks a lot and good luck!
Arthur
