Hi everyone,
After six years on the coreboot leadership team I've decided it's time
to pass the torch. I joined the leadership team in 2019 while on a mission to
get coreboot back on servers and am pleased with the progress that's been made.
Now it's time for me to focus on family and other things and make room for
somebody more hands-on with the day-to-day activities of the entire community.
I'm happy to announce that Martin Roth will be taking over my spot on the
leadership team.
Though there are several strong contributors in our community, the
leadership team has unanimously selected Martin for this position based on his
exceptional qualifications:
*
Over 26 years of combined firmware development experience, including 13
years in the coreboot community and 13 years of BIOS development prior, mostly
at Cyrix/National Semiconductor and AMD.
*
Significant technical contributions through thousands of patches and
thoughtful code reviews, along with mentoring several community members.
*
Martin has maintained coreboot infrastructure for many years, working
behind the scenes to keep the whole project going on a shoestring budget. This
included years of maintaining our build infrastructure on servers in his
basement.
*
Extensive experience working with (or at) silicon vendors on the
foundational components needed to enable coreboot on bleeding-edge x86
platforms (FSP, AGESA, OpenSIL).
*
Experience at a variety of companies serving various market segments,
ranging from embedded systems at National Semiconductor and Sage, to laptops at
AMD and Google, and servers at AMD.
*
Strong commitment to open-source principles combined with technical
expertise to achieve the best possible outcomes in our challenging industry.
I'll continue in an advisory role and am also ramping up on some
administrative tasks to lighten Martin's load so that he has more time to focus
on the codebase.
Thanks everyone, and congratulations to Martin!
