## Minutes


### [Martin] Discuss the early meeting agenda
  * No topics on the early GMT meeting agenda.

### [Subrata] Developing a self-test framework in coreboot
  * Mailing list: (https://mail.coreboot.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/ZLHWZGWU2PMP5CIHQ7DBM3XSYTAXQPZA/)
  * Spec: (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TyOxw_acrextI-GVI2IE4omdg0f1evyn/view)
    * [Martin] Would it be better to just collect register data and save it until later when it can be analyzed more thoroughly?
        * [Subrata] There are a lot of platform implementation details that are known by coreboot that aren’t necessarily available in the OS.
    * [Martin] So can we do tests for just the things that coreboot has platform-specific knowledge about, like what GPIO is used for, and just collect register data for other things?

### [Werner] Is the Security response team still good enough, or do we need adjustments? 
  * Further on, we still have this on the webpage (in the calendar section):*For questions about this calendar or requests to be added to change events, please contact: **Stepan, Patrickg, Zaolin, or Martinr 
  * The first three persons are out of the project now; shall we update?
    * [Martin] We need a complete overhaul of the security team. 
    - We need representatives from various companies.
    
### [Elyes] Do you plan to keep running Jenkins on Debian oldstable (gcc-12.2.0-3)? 
  * Debian stable uses gcc-14.2.0-1.
    * [Martin] No, jenkins containers should be updated. We’ll update it after the 25.09 release.

### Information
  * Julius has been invited to do a podcast about coreboot. Go Julius! (linuxinlaws.eu)
  * coreboot tag 25.09 is scheduled to be released in 3 weeks.

### No topics on the agenda.

# Notice
Decisions shown here are not necessarily final and are based
on the current information available. If there are questions or comments
about decisions made, or additional information to present, please put
it on the leadership meeting agenda and show up if possible to discuss
it.

Of course items may also be discussed on the mailing list, but as it's
difficult to interpret tone over email, controversial topics frequently
do not have good progress in those discussions. For particularly
difficult issues, it may be best to try to schedule another meeting.

We now host two leadership meetings, one in early GMT and one in late GMT, to better accommodate
participants from the Asian time zones. 
Kindly note that both sessions use the same meeting notes and Google Meet link.
