B40 Bay Area – Coreboot, Intel ME, and Firmware Freedom

Ever wondered what runs your computer before the GNU/Linux even starts? ​Most people don’t realize that proprietary firmware can control your device in ways you never intended. Join us for a meetup focused on free BIOS and firmware. ​The event will feature a presentation and AMA with Ronald Minnich, inventor and developer of Coreboot. ​We will discuss the security and freedom issues imposed by proprietary firmware blobs like Intel ME, how Coreboot addresses these issues, and how we can build libre systems on non-x86 platforms. ​Attendees are welcome to bring their laptops to get help
