Google wants servers without Intel ME and UEFI
Golem has a story about the recent Google presentation at OSSEU2017:

Linux Luddites podcast on Ron Minnich
As found on the coreboot blog, episide 49 of Linux Luddites podcast, from last month, has a firmware focus.
With Android’s security woes making even the mainstream press, it’s hardly surprising that they featured in our news this show. But we also found time to bring you stories about Fedora and Ubuntu, FFmpeg, a couple of Kickstarter projects with very different outcomes, and a similarly mixed bag of news for Lenovo. Ron Minnich has long been associated with Open Source firmware, and after the news we spoke to him about the coreboot project. In our interview we found out why Ron is so enthusiastic about Google’s Chromebooks, discovered his hopes for a new RISC ISA from Berkeley, and quizzed him on whether Purism can really deliver on their promise of a modern and truly FOSS mass-market laptop.
