i am reasonably certain that Toshaan Bharvani would be
prepared to do that although he would need to speak for
himself.
Yes, please, I am interested.
I would use it for PowerEL, LibreBMC and LibreSOC.
All open source projects.
Is this just a board or also a CPU?
the other option would be to donate it to the University of
Oregon who already have POWER9 systems that are accessible
to FOSS projects via the "OpenPOWER Hub". cc'ing Sameer
as well.
(in case that wasn't clear: FOSS projects can *already*, right
now, apply for access to POWER9 systems, do i have that right,
Sameer?)
