I attended, it was interesting to hear the backstory/history and the
antidotes of coreboot, time at Google and the Chromebook program, and
the like.
Sadly the time spent giving hints on flashing coreboot was short, and
there was no help with flashing Coreboot/me_cleaner.
Hopefully next time we can have an actual hands on lab/workshop, as
mentioned in the announcement email.

Neat. Sadly missed this. Any chance it will happen

Ever wondered what runs your computer before the GNU/Linux even
starts? Most people don’t realize that proprietary firmware can
control your device in ways you never intended. Join us for a meetup
focused on free BIOS and firmware *this Saturday at 7pm*. The event
will feature presentation and an AMA with a Coreboot developer. We
will discuss the security and freedom issues imposed by proprietary
firmware blobs like Intel ME, how Coreboot addresses these issues,
and how we can build libre systems on non-x86 platforms. Attendees
are welcome to bring their laptops to get help on flashing Coreboot
or me_cleaner.
