Back To You: Dear Mr. Blackthorne, Let me Thank You ! for making the correction to the links. I understand the frustration and let me assure you that I did NOT just copy and pasted text displayed links. I clicked on the links and had them open within a new tab. I then copied the links from these open and working tabs to my email. If it did not work, I would not have know due to the manner I found the links. Thanks ! again for your assistance.
If you like to learn of additional effort to resolve this issue for the freedom of all computer users, there was another announcement BUT from the Free Software Foundation (FSF) called " Will your computer's 'Secure Boot' turn out to be 'Restricted Boot' ?" : You can find it at the following link - http://www.fsf.org/blogs/community/campaigns/secure-boot-vs-restricted-boot/about/ Within this document, they also present links to the UEFI organization and to other technical detailed documents (if you are interested in this type of information). The also at the end of this announcement have additional news and Blog links on this subject. Here are some links that I picked up and will pass-a-long for your convenience : UEFI organization their specifications : http://www.uefi.org/specs/ Here is mention of their acceptance of the Open Source efforts (I have corrected the link to correctly point to the true site, they had done a cut and paste that included wrongly the www in-front of the actual link) : The UEFI Board endorses the open source effort for the Self Certification Test (SCT) for the PI Specification Version 1.0 at http://sourceforge.org/projects/pi-sct . This is the most recent SCT. In general, the SCT to a new version of the PI specification is expected to be available 18 months after the specification release. Linked to this first document is the FSF efforts for creation of the "Free BIOS", link : http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/free-bios.html and here is the following link to this effort of the creation of the "coreboot", link : http://www.coreboot.org/Welcome_to_coreboot So as you can see there is, actually, a lot going on to assist users (whomever they may be) to have the freedom of choice in being able to run the operating system of your choice. I hope that this information and links do not have the previous issues and is able to help inform the members of LOPSA.
