<html><body><p><font size="2">I wanted to let you know some pretty exciting news. As you may be aware The OpenBMC Project and the Facebook OpenBMC team have been looking for ways to work together. Over the past few weeks IBM, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Intel and OCP have been talking about the code and how to create a common stack for all the world to reference. There are plenty of items to work through (like finding a hosting foundation, Governance, etc) but the desire and momentum is there to work together. Be assured that the goals of our OpenBMC Project (which, as code contributors, you are part of) remain the same; that our community is open and the code is designed to enable your business needs. </font><br><br><font size="2">This will not be a tear up or rewrite of github.com/openbmc. The OpenBMC Project repos will be used as the starting point. I saw some presentations at the Dallas OpenCompute Project engineering workshop that gets me excited about the future. You can see the entire workshop here... </font><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFhEbXkHd0Q"><font size="2">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFhEbXkHd0Q</font></a><br><br><font size="2">Let me know if you have any questions</font><br><br><br><font size="2"><br>Chris Austen<br>OpenBMC</font><BR>
