Hi Everyone,
My name is Luis Da Costa and I'm the CEO of a Portuguese startup company,
free software oriented, called Libretrend. I'm also a Trisquel member for
over 6 years.
I started here as a student interested in Free Software, then I launched the
first Librebox in 2014 which was free software friendly (meaning that it
wouldn't include any hardware that would require blobs to run on the
Operating System).
We are back (yes, we, because now we are a team of 5). In almost 3 years we
listened to everything you guys said, and we learned.. a lot! This is why we
wouldn't make the same mistake, of releasing a proprietary BIOS, again.
So here we are, presenting the new Librebox: "The most powerful -
out-of-factory - computer with Coreboot".
The new Librebox was presented officially at the Open Source Lisbon 2018
(here in Portugal) and will be presented again with a TPM update at the Web
Summit 2018 (Lisbon).
Thank you for your time, and sorry for those to whom this post sounded way to
much like an ad. It's my way of saying thank you for all of you, to the
community and to Free Software in general. Trisquel was what made me try and
stick with Free Software, understand the importance of it, and drove my life
to only one goal: "Build the most powerful, and libre hardware and software
in the world".
