We're starting to contribute to open source projects. Hi Mark, Do you know if Lenovo plans to support Linux on all it's products? I use LVFS as in indication that it's supported. And there are various products I'm considering buying, most of them are currently not on LVFS. I'm looking at things from the ThinkCentre, IdeaCentre or Legion line. ThinkCentre should be supported (I'm not 100% sure all of them are - I can check that) The only one in LVFS are M90n-1 and M625q, where the M625q doesn't seem to be for sale anymore. On the other hand, if I look at the website, it depends on what information you look at. If you just look at the comparison between models, they all only mention Windows 10, except the M75q which mentions Linux. But if you look at the details, the M75s and M75q support Linux, but neither is on LVFS. Hmm - I'll have to go dig and see. More than that are supposed to be supported though just last week I beat up some BIOS teams who haven't been uploading to LVFS (as part of the platform specifications they are required to do it but it hadn't been doneit's still new here) Supported platforms for 2019 were (I think): M920 t/s/q/z; M720 t/s/q; M630e, M90n, M75s/q, M820z, EPC300 I've been doing a bunch of work on the M90n (though I haven't put Debian on it yet admittedly) I'll chase down the others and confirm.

a New GDPR Resource
Hi. While DPL, I established a relationship with a GDPR lawyer to help the data protection team and myself with some questions. They forwarded along the following information about a new guide for GDPR implications for developers. The data protection team members were also copied. The Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés („CNIL“) published a GDPR Guide for Developers, which I wanted to share with you. It is covering topics such as * Develop in Compliance with the GDPR * Manage your Source Code * Control your Libraries and SDKs For those not familiar with the CNIL, that is the French data protection authority, which would for example also be the authority imposing fines there. The CNIL’s website is available here: https://www.cnil.fr/en/cnil-publishes-gdpr-guide-developers. The guide is also available on GitHub here: https://github.com/LINCnil/GDPR-Developer-Guide. It is licensed under GPL-3.0.
