General coreboot news & discussions * 4.6 release delayed? - It will happen this weekend. - Is there anything that still needs to go in? - Maybe TPM workarounds if they're ready by the weekend. - How do we improve communication in case of delays? - There wasn't really any delay. We always have a 2 week window planned for the release - 4/15 - 4/30 and 10/15 - 10/31. Maybe that should have been communicated better, but always, we need better documentation. Next time Martin shouldn't be so optimistic about the release dates. - Martin will document the release process so that this isn't dependent on him, and so that there's better understanding in the community of the process. * Linux coreboot CBMEM console driver upstreamed: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkht/char-misc.git/commit... - Jwerner told us he not against renaming of the kernel config option - It woud be nice to further integrate that with systemd-analyze * Conferences - Sign up. * The TPM issue has been found - tcgbios impl of SeaBIOS is broken since 1.9.X - Further investigation needs to happen. * Issue/bug tracker discussion started: https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2017-April/084069.html - Please participate * How to get more active corporate developers to participate in the CCM? - Directly contact corporate developers. - Would a different time be better for corporate developers? - Note that we had people from Google, Facebook, Intel, and SecuNet in the meeting. * License for coreboot documentation: - We've selected CC-BY 4.0 - We need to make sure things are licensed that way. - We should add a license file to the top of the coreboot documentation tree and include it in the generated HTML. - GPL code in the documentation needs to be small enough that it's covered by fair-use - a few lines copied in is fine, large chunks would be better referenced as links. - When linking to files, please use archive.org - https://web.archive.org/web/20080725184640/coreboot.org * Philipp would like some help working on the website. - Ask for developers on the mailing list?
Infrastructure Issues & News * Build servers were down over the weekend due to a router failure. * Grumpybuilder will be brought back online shortly.
