Dear coreboot Community,
We are pleased to announce the upcoming coreboot leadership meeting scheduled for October 18, 2023[1]. Please add things you wish to see addressed during the meeting to the agenda[2]. # Current Agenda Items
* [Martin] OSFC was fantastic. It was great to see everyone who could attend. Hopefully the economy is better next year so we can have more attendees. * [Martin (for Ron)] Our current website looks like an open source project’s website. If we want to convince people to use or work with coreboot, it should look like a company’s website. Ron pointed to [https://go.dev/%5D(https://go.dev/) with their table of “Companies using go” as an example of what he thinks might be better. Listing these companies makes other companies feel like they may be missing out by not using go. * [Martin] coreboot gerrit statistics: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1q_OdePsm1DHUUJxrO1cWce99lOFd9wKiEZC1...) This is a set of statistics that I’ve been keeping unofficially for a while. I showed it to some people at OSFC, and they suggested sharing it more widely. The data is collected from gerrit with the gerrit_stats perl script in the util/release directory: [https://review.coreboot.org/plugins/gitiles/coreboot/+/refs/heads/main/util/...) Please note - These statistics are terrible for specifics, and can definitely be gamed. Patches vary in quality, and some people choose to spread their patches into a large number, while others choose to do everything in a single patch. Please don’t read too much into anything in these charts. * [Martin] We have a new coreboot store - [https://coreboot.myspreadshop.com%5D(https://coreboot.myspreadshop.com). This is in the US, but we can create a similar store with their European group. Unfortunately, that needs to be set up and configured separately. This is just a typical swag store where you can get the coreboot logo printed on random stuff. Anyone need a coreboot apron? This is being run by Martin, not the coreboot project, so that the project doesn’t have to deal with taxes and such. Any profits made will be donated to coreboot through the SFC. If anyone wants a new design added, let me know. [1] https://coreboot.org/calendar.html [2] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NRXqXcLBp5pFkHiJbrLdv3Spqh1Hu086HYkKrgKj...
