Our short term plans and need for help
|
||||
======================================
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Boot is seeking contributors for various jobs, both simple and
|
||||
technical.
|
||||
|
||||
Information
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The Libreboot name has a long history in the free software community.
|
||||
Most occurrences of the uses were intended to refer to boot software
|
||||
that was libre, and there is no way to edit those occurrences to refer
|
||||
to libre boot software by a different name. Therefore, we need help
|
||||
from the wider community to inform people about the inclusion of
|
||||
nonfree software in the Libreboot releases.
|
||||
|
||||
Another way to help GNU Boot and take a stand for fully free software
|
||||
is to change URLs across the web from <libreboot.org> to
|
||||
<gnu.org/software/gnuboot>, to make sure that the mentioned software
|
||||
is reliably free software.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also help our project by informing people about GNU boot or
|
||||
other 100% free boot software.
|
||||
|
||||
Documentation and/or testing
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
We need help for reviewing and fixing this website (which also
|
||||
contains the documentation). Many pages are inherited from Libreboot
|
||||
and might be outdated or specific to Libreboot.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition we also need help for testing releases and
|
||||
testing/updating the installation instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
We currently have a list of what computers aren't tested yet in the
|
||||
[bug 64754](https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64754).
|
||||
|
||||
As for reporting what you tested, you can open a new bug or send a
|
||||
mail to the [gnuboot](http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnuboot)
|
||||
or [gnuboot-patches]
|
||||
(http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnuboot-patches) mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
Technical contributions
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Boot is currently using old versions of upstream software (like
|
||||
Coreboot, GRUB, etc) and so they need to be updated. Patches for that
|
||||
need to be sent on the [gnuboot-patches]
|
||||
(http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnuboot-patches) mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
We also have a bug tracker at
|
||||
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gnuboot that contains a list of
|
||||
bugs that needs to be fixed.

||||

@ -38,36 +38,24 @@ Now we've stepped forward to stand up for freedom, ours and that of
|
|||
the wider community, by maintaining our own version -- a genuinely libre
|
||||
Libreboot, that after some hurdles gave birth to this project: GNU Boot.
|
||||
|
||||
### Our short term plans and need for help ###

### Project status and need for help ####
|
||||
|

We are seeking contributors for various jobs, both simple and technical.
|
||||
Right now GNU Boot is still in its early stage.
|
||||
|
||||
The Libreboot name has a long history in the free software community.
|
||||
Most occurrences of the uses were intended to refer to boot software
|
||||
that was libre, and there is no way to edit those occurrences to refer
|
||||
to libre boot software by a different name. Therefore, we need help
|
||||
from the wider community to inform people about the inclusion of
|
||||
nonfree software in the Libreboot releases.
|
||||
It should be relatively safe to use the [last release
|
||||
candidate](https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnuboot/) (GNU Boot 0.1-rc1) as is
|
||||
has minimal changes on top of Libreboot 20220710 (the last 100% free
|
||||
release of Libreboot) and also because several people tested it and
|
||||
didn't report any blocking issue.
|
||||
|
||||
Another way to help this project and take a stand for fully free
|
||||
software is to change URLs across the web from <libreboot.org> to
|
||||
<gnu.org/software/gnuboot>, to make sure that the mentioned software
|
||||
is reliably free software.
|
||||
However we need a lot of help for fixing the website as most pages are
|
||||
out of date or still refer to Libreboot or libreboot.at instead of GNU
|
||||
Boot.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also help our project by informing people about GNU boot or
|
||||
other 100% free boot software.
|
||||
This is very important because the website also contains all the
|
||||
project documentation, including the installation instructions (we
|
||||
also need help testing them).
|
||||
|
||||
While there is some documentation in our git repositories, we also
|
||||
need help adding explanations on how to contribute, build and test
|
||||
this website.
|
||||
|
||||
Adrien 'neox' Bourmault and Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli are the interim
|
||||
maintainers of this GNU Boot project. They will also review patches
|
||||
sent to the mailing list.
|
||||
|
||||
Several organizations and people have already offered help for testing
|
||||
the first release candidate.
|
||||
|
||||
Making this project part of GNU is part of our work to ensure that our
|
||||
genuine Libreboot version remains free and continue to be maintained
|
||||
over time.

||||

|

|
||||
help GNU Boot.
