Dear Miguel Angel, Raptor Engineering has been hard at work trying to fund the creation of hardware that comes with only free software. Their latest target is helping to port OpenBMC to the ASUS KGPE-D16, a mainboard for workstations and servers. While the board currently can be used with Libreboot or Coreboot, the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) currently requires a proprietary blob to function. This limits some of the board's functionality for users of a fully free system. By porting OpenBMC to the board, Raptor Engineering hopes to re-enable that functionality, particularly remote management. But they just need a little more help from you to make that a reality, and there are only a few days left before funding ends on March 1st. They've already met almost 90% of the funding needed to pay for the port. With just a little over six thousand more in pledges, the goal will be fully funded. They have several stretch goals as well, that would likewise be beneficial for software freedom. With only two thousand All of these tasks would go a long ways towards improving the ASUS KGPE-D16's functionality in a fully free environment, particularly for data centers. As Raptor Engineering notes on their crowdfunding page:
Funding this project will really give free software a leg up in terms of capability and reliability. With Raptor Engineering being so close to accomplishing this goal, will you be the one to help push them over the edge? Please support their project by visiting Sincerely, Donald Robertson, III |
