I’d like to communicate the basic ideas — that Linux is a good BIOS, and why; why Linux BIOS is BUILT the way it is; where we are going; and how people can help. Most importantly, why it all matters — and it really matters a lot. We’re on the verge of losing control of the systems we buy, and we need to make a conscious EFFORT, as a COMMUNITY, to ensure this loss of control does not HAPPEN. That effort will not be without some sacrifice, but if we are to maintain our ability to use and program our machines, and have FUN with them, we have to act now. Because, if the computing business stops being fun, what’s the point$
