Hi Patrick, what does "coreboot compatible open hardware" means here? Do we have some kind of specification for this or does that "just" means no blobs at all?
I would think that we can definitely host such a projects, give it a gerrit, docs and stuff - but I would be aware of leveraging resources for this. I don't think that we should promote this in any way or brand it as coreboot compatible open hardware.
