I am so relieved that things have been straightened out, and Rowe has taken
back the accusations towards John Sullivan and Rubén Rodríguez. Now we can
start to rebuild back the trust amongst us.
P. S. I had to read the Open Letter on my smartphone (Orange ISP) because on
my laptop (R ISP)
Reading the notes from Alyssa and Leah actually brought tears to me cry. It
is incredibly brave of her to acknowledge her very public mistakes, admit
their negative consequences, apologise to John, Reuben, Timothy, and Damien,
by name, to the GNU maintainers, and most importantly to the
It is possible she has many fences she needs to fix and she hasn't gotten
around to it yet. But we shall see I guess.
I'm still surprised no one out there, whether a formal company like Minifree,
Viking, Technoethical, and Libiquity, or even just some random eBay seller,
is yet selling any Libreboot-flashed laptop other than the Lenovos. Nobody's
selling:
the ASUS Chromebook C201
I haven't received an apology from Leah. I have received an apology from
Alyssa for Leah's behaviour.
Only admins of Libreboot repository can edit issues of other people, so I
guess that was made by Leah or someone else with admin roles. It should be a
matter of looking at the log registry of the database of NotABug to find out
who did this, so I don't know why he/she did that, it's a very
Next time I speak with Zammit I will see what his take on it is. So far great
news!
Substance abuse hmm... I knew something was up...
I hope Leah gets some help with that. This note is a good thing. I don't
know if promoting debian is the worst thing, but I also think that promoting
trisquel is a better option.
I am currently using stretch on my libreboot x200. it does
FWIW, this new (temporary) policy is fair.
I do hope they list some more suppliers- the 'suppliers.html' list is (was?)
linked from the main page, and only displaying Minifree was an absolutely
terrible conflict of interest. That said, the page now proclaims:
'Libreboot is not listing suppliers at the moment. Apologies for the
But labelled as "off-topic" (although the libreboot.org website source code
has been merged in the libreboot source code repository, so both have the
same issue tracker) and closed once again, by Alyssa:

Thankfully, the ticket has been reverted by Alyssa:

Oh, I guess some things never change. Now I see that I've been impersonated
(see screenshot). I would like my proposal to be taken into consideration,
not "disregarded", of course.
Perhaps things are not so improved. I'm starting to regret having shared the
news of this great change that was supposedly happening.
My understanding is that this is the correct one. What happened there is
unprofessional and inappropriate, IMHO.
Does someone know if that was the right issue tracker for the libreboot
project? My ticket has been played with (see screenshots)
I wonder if the libreboot project could set up a policy for listing other
suppliers along with Minifree:

feuding in an already fragmented community helps nobody. The world of free
software is shrinking and under attack. Though the FSF may make mistakes from
time to time, so do we. We do not need another divide.
sweet news \o/
All this people keeps working hard.
That's wonderful news! :D
