Hi Paul, > 1. What is OSFF modeled like – like the Linux Foundation?
The slideshow linked on the opensourcefirmware.foundation homepage might answer some questions: https://opensourcefirmware.foundation/slides/Open-Source-Firmware-Foundation_public.pdf > 2. What benefits does the coreboot project hope to get from being part > of OSFF? Because the goals align with the coreboot project goals? Overall yes, the goals align well with those of the coreboot project. Personally I see value in creating a coherent organization representing the interest of various projects and parties in this ecosystem. For example, we've all seen many e-mail and chat threads about vendors that go nowhere. If OSFF can help bridge that gap between users/developers and vendors then it will be a huge help (that's a big "if"). > 3. As what kind of member do we want to join? Associate, like other open-source projects. > 4. What entity(?) of coreboot is joining? The same one as with the Software Freedom Conservancy. > 5. Who pays the membership fees, and how much are they? $0 for associate members. > 6. I couldn’t find the goals of the OSFF stated in the documents. The > bylaws say: > > > The purposes of the Corporation shall be those set forth in the > > Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, as may be amended > > from time to time (the "Articles of Incorporation"). > > I only found that members mostly have to “engage in or support the > production, manufacture, use, sale, or standardization of open-source > firmware technologies”. The slide deck on the homepage should clear things up. > 7. Who is going to represent the coreboot project in the OSFF? Same as with the SFC. > 8. Who is the OSFF president and secretary Christian Burghart [1]? He's the lawyer who handled the incorporation process. That's why the word "Initial" appears before those titles ;-) _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
