ubuntu help!

[ron minnich]

we're getting lots of good emails from the help ubuntu post. I am
worried we're going to lose those people in the daily traffic.

Would someone or someones be weilling to be our ubuntu
contact/ambassador? The goal is to make sure the people contributing
feel welcome and continue the dialogue with ubuntu.

thanks

I'll be happy to help with Ubuntu and with anything VIA as a contact.

I've collected seven of these submissions together. I've probably missed some.

Is there a place we can put them all together ? Perhaps an email address or a 
wiki page.

Where did that script to collect hardware information end up? I spent some time 
looking for it but failed to turn it up.

I'm happy to do some of this stuff as resources permit.

regards
Mark

coreboot wiki?

I don't know, the submissions have been slightly different; is it  a script?

maybe you and bari can work together to lighten each persons load?

I don't think the submissions are from a script but I saw reference to such a 
thing recently, perhaps on IRC.

Do you mean this message [1]? Take a look at the references.

Thanks,

Please make sure that only people who are actually willing and able to
work on coreboot (programming) or at least willing and able to _test_
patches we may provide (on their hardware) post such information.

Not to discourage this effort, but simply dumping a lot of lspci's on
the mailing list will not help at all. Somebody has to actually do the
work and/or test patches, otherwise the information is useless.

Thanks, Uwe.
