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'd also suggest that the ability to just brain dump into a text editor then make that available to anyone with internet access and the patience to read it is not particularly helpful to those who might have problems with impulse control. If you know you're prone to that sort of thing, perhaps a self-imposed delay in posting - 12 hours later the browser asks "are you sure you want to post this?", for example - would be beneficial. I've also taken prescription medication in the past that left me in a less than normal state of mind; I'm just glad that internet access via ever-present smartphones wasn't available then!
