Hi,

next week agenda is: - Industrial Internet Consortium patterns update - Civil Infrastructure Project liaison update - Open System Firmware https://www.opencompute.org/projects/open-system-firmware presentation and discussion

On this last topic, I'm glad to welcome Ron Minnich who will present Open System Firmware initiatives from Open Compute Project. (Ron has a long history in firmware with creation of CoreBoot and more recently LinuxBoot).

SystemReady standards define technical requirements to ensure decoupling between firmware and operating systems.

I see OSF efforts complementing the technical standards with firmware business lifecycle to guarantee openness and freedom of use. A checklist https://www.opencompute.org/wiki/Open_System_Firmware/Checklist helps qualify systems per those openness and freedom of use criteria.

I'd like us to be able to have an informed discussion on the checklist (meaning need to read before the call ;-) to see how much it may apply to Trusted Substrate http://trusted-substrate.org, and wether it would make sense (if technically feasible) to setup a liaison between our two groups.

Cordially,

FF

PS: I will be sending additional invites for new attendees
