Libreboot has now officially applied to rejoin GNU, which it left in September. According to Leah Rowe, the "initial responses from GNU's leadership seems positive."

Last week we reported that after reorganization, Libreboot was considering rejoining GNU and was seeking input from its community to determine the amount of support it had for such a move. From reading the comments posted both on our article on FOSS Force and on Libreboot's website, it comes as no surprise that the project's core members feel they have the necessary consesus to proceed.

Last night, FOSS Force received an email — sent jointly to us and Phoronix — letting us know of the decision.

  I apologize but do not regret because I accidentally typo'd that and couldn't find a good place to use it otherwise. My serious response is that you don't give multiple people root as a matter of procedure? You can have multiple users without doing stuff like that? ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and all that? Or am I missing something in the spirit of the post?

    Oh, there are plenty of examples of sewing discontent. See, for example, the classic example of Joseph and his coat of many colors [wikipedia.org]. Jacob would definitely sew discontent in his family with that thing... heck, that darn coat was responsible for my own discontent watching that awful Charleton Heston film growing up, which would have never happened if Joseph hadn't been kidnapped to Egypt in the first place, all because his brothers sold him into slavery because someone had sewn discontent.

    Awful thing, that coat.

    Anyhow, sweatshops also tend to sew a lot of discontent. I could go on.... :)
