Following on from our talk on Libreboot in September, we have the
founder of Libreboot as our speaker on this important topic.

The talk will include:

* dangers of Intel ME, AMD's equivalent and others;
* work done on removing / disabling these "MEs";
* Libreboot on Chromebooks;
* Talos: concept, reason(s) for failure, post-failure;
* Libreboot D16 desktop/workstation and server;
* future of owner controlled hardware.

Further, help and advice on installing Libreboot will be available.

More information:

If you have experience of Libreboot, U-Boot, Depthcharge, SeaBIOS or
similar then please consider giving a lightning talk at the meeting.


=3D=3D After-meeting =3D=3D

The meeting will be followed by informal discussion and socialising in
the Terrace (which is next door to Madlab).  There are non-alcoholic
drinks available and there is no pressure to consume alcohol.


=3D=3D Location =3D=3D

The meeting will take place at the usual venue of Madlab, details above.


=3D=3D Transport =3D=3D


=3D=3D=3D Parking =3D=3D=3D

Around the venue there are parking meter bays that become zero cost
after 8pm on Tuesday so you will have to pay up until then and the
maximum stay is 2 hours BUT MAKE SURE YOU VERIFY ALL THIS on parking.

There are paid parking lots around the venue, they are marked by a blue
P in this OpenStreetMap centred on Madlab
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=3D15/53.4843/-2.2365>.  Most of those
parking lots are owned by NCP <http://www.ncp.co.uk/>.

If you can=E2=80=99t decide otherwise then park in Manchester Arndale
