Sure.  Let me ask it to the Framework on the Framework community forum.  I will 
let you know here.

Thank you for the info.  I would like to communicate with the coreboot 
community or the consulting groups openly as much as possible here or 
somewhere, even when I may need to email someone as a close communication 
temporarily.  Because in this case, though Framework is possibly interested in 
the port, I know Framework community is really interested in it.  People in the 
community should be able to know the progress and involve the task.

I am not sure what prevents coreboot's port to the Framework Laptop.  But if a 
funding to the coreboot solves, I mean if some coreboot developers can get the 
port done by working intensively for example for 1 month by a funding, I am 
happy to gather the money from people who want to see the port done by using an 
OSS funding platform[1] that fits coreboot. For example, you might know 
"Tidelift" and "GitHub Sponsors".

What do you think? Anyway, first I want to know what prevents coreboot's port 
to the Framework Laptop.

Dear coreboot developers,

I am a user of Framework Laptop[1][2]. Thank you for working to make coreboot 
work on Framework Laptop! This ticket is to track the task, as I didn't see any 
other issue tickets about Framework Laptop here. According to the Framework 
founder's comment[3] below, Framework provided Framework Laptops to the 
coreboot community.

Then I saw Matthew's try to make the coreboot work on Framework Laptop,[4] but 
unfortunately it didn't work at that time.[5]

How is the current status? What prevents coreboot from working on the Framework 
Laptop? How can we, people in the Framework community, help you? As a 
reference, there is a coreboot specific thread on the Framework community 
forum.[6]
