Hi Alexandre, that is awesome!. I have one Lenovo Laptop lying around waiting to get libreboot installed. I'll bring it with me to the GHM.

Would that interest someone at GHM? The computers are not all in good state, yet if someone has any computer in this list [1] (currently X60{T,s,} (most of time), T60 (depends), X200(and X200T, depends), R400, T400, T500, W500 and soon X220(T)) we could flash it with the material guarantee that if it fails and brick we could unbrick it, and yet I can bring some flashable/flashed computers if that interest someone… Yet you can note that I’ve heard X220(T) will be libreboot-compatible soon while being almost as cheap, having more ram, more cpu, dual in/out jack, better resolution (and ratio) and better cooling system, yet as all thinkpads excepts X60(T,s,) and T60(s) it has been released with AMT/ME (the intel management stuff that allows remote-controlling the cpu and libreboot tries at best to maybe-disable, while the formers were before AMT/ME was invented), so they might be considered as more secure (at least GNUtoo said this to me, afaik Leah (and libreboot) doesn’t agree that much) The buspirate/BBB+pomona+jump-cables are fragile but light, while the laptops are certainly more solid but also a bit heavy in number… On the end I think I will bring the material in all cases but I’m not sure for laptops depending on reactions on the mailing list (sorry to post that late :/)… [1] <https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/#laptops-intel-x86>
