Thanks for your feedback and additional ideas.  I apologize for my 
summary was not clear.  Clarification: The team working on the "measured 
boot" proof-of-concept wants to share their code with other teams, and 
was looking for a way to do so.  It was suggested to create a public 
fork for this purpose, something like 
https://github.com/SOMEUSER/openbmc.  The overall direction remains to 
do the work in the community repositories.  I'll update the meeting minutes.
