General coreboot news & discussions
* AGESA updates by Kyösti
- These need testing, so if you have an AGESA based board, please
try them on your board.
- https://review.coreboot.org/#/q/status:open+project:coreboot+branch:master+topic:agesa-wrapper-killer
* TPM regression?
- https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/102
- https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/104
- PhilippD (TPM area maintainer) is looking into these.
* Documentation license
- For coreboot proper, coreboot leadership is leaning toward CC-BY,
to allow the widest distribution possible. We're not worried about
copying things in from other places - those can be referenced on the
other websites.
- https://creativecommons.org/licenses/
- CC-BY is a non-restrictive license, similar to a BSD license.
- CC-BY-SA requires that the license not change, similar to GPL license
- Each document is separate, not entangled like the source code, so
if we decided to change the license later, we can on an individual
basis.
Infrastructure Issues & News
* Next release 4.6 - Targeting April 17
- Please test your boards
- Please fix bugs https://ticket.coreboot.org
* Discussions about changing the CCM to a different conferences software.
- We can revisit in November if desired. Let's not change before then.
* More REACTS systems by Martin (License for 5)
- Asus P5GC-MX
- Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L
- Next is AMD Mahogany F10h
* Jenkins is misbehaving - completed builds are not marking the
servers as being free, causing long delays in running the next build.
We're working on it.
* Software Freedom Conservancy admission still pending - working out
the governance details.
- One hangup is the blobs directory.
* Working on a jenkins update to show which boards have been changed
by a patch. Waiting for jenkins issues to be fixed before moving on
with this.
* European coreboot conference
- https://ecc2017.coreboot.org/
* Denver coreboot conference
- Waiting for SFC so we can accept payments
* QUESTION: how many folks attend the coreboot conf usually?
- Around 50 people max for Denver 2017 unless huge interest. Maybe
100 for the European coreboot conference.
Development
* flashrom git status?
- Do we want to talk about flashrom in the coreboot community
meeting - Discuss this with flashrom crew.
- Martin isn't positive, but thinks that we're waiting for StefanCT
to set up a build test at this point.
- Stable branch in gerrit doesn't build (Intentionally)
- I think "staging" does, but when a user clones the repo and types
"make" in the default "stable" branch it throws an error about needing
to use the upstream repo (on flashrom.org)
- Can we push to staging now?
* Review of siro’s libpayload patches
- Patches need reviewers
* checkpatch.pl clean-up going on nicely
- Lee is done with his cleanup for now
- Need to get rid of false positives (Update the script) before
turning it on in the builder.
