coreboot Meetings Announcement And Agenda Call

Dear community,

Please note that the upcoming coreboot leadership meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 10,
2024. [1]
You are welcome to update the  agenda items with matters you wish to see addressed  during the
meeting . [2]

## Current Agenda Items

### [Martin/others] Look at writing a doc stating what coreboot is
  * It’s been argued that this shouldn’t be called a “spec”, but Daniel Maslowski pointed out that
coreboot is being defined by others as something that we aren’t, because we don’t have a good
definition of what we are. Whatever we want to call it, it seems like a good plan to have
*something* discussing what coreboot is.

### [Martin] Localization of non-console strings for coreboot
  * With the addition of an early display, we’re looking at printing text to the screen directly from
coreboot. Localization is being added for this, but the current patch uses the localization code
from vboot. This isn’t a security related feature so shouldn’t depend on the rest of VBOOT being
enabled. https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/79054
  * We also just had an RFC about storing setup engine strings. It seems like we’d want to make sure
that whatever plan we have in place also supports localization for those strings as well.
  * How do we want to handle localization in coreboot? It seems like we’re going to be adding more
strings that will be presented to the user.

### [SimonG] Coreboot Control Block again
  * [https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/77712]

### [Martin] Review Setup Option Table implementation in YAML
  * The initial plan was to use Kconfig syntax to generate the data for the tables, but even though
Kconfig was designed to create a menu, there are significant differences between the Kconfig menus
and what we’re trying to do here. The biggest difference is how we handle enabling menus. Kconfig
is designed to include *ALL* values, and hide entries based on a current value. The SOT menu should
completely exclude data that isn’t relevant to a system from the data structures. This can be
handled, but this difference makes Kconfig less than ideal.

### [Martin] `region_overlap()` function might not work as expected due to an integer overflow in
`region_end()` function
  * Bug 522 - https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/522
