Hi all, <br />This may be my first time participating in GSoC and contributing to TianoCore. I'm looking to complete the MinPlatform board port task for an Acer Aspire VN7-572G laptop, which is a Skylake-U platform supported by the Kabylake FSP. <br />&nbsp;<br />I have previously written a coreboot port for the same board, still pending review. I hope the fact that some of the board-level understanding is complete does not preclude me from participating, but many implementation details don't seem to transfer. Also, I'm looking to learn more about firmware and produce something new. I've made some other contributions to coreboot as well. <br />&nbsp;<br />I've also previously worked on an EDK2 fork, adding and developing features for UefiPayloadPkg on coreboot (I can link it if anyone wants to see and possibly work on upstreaming my commits a different time).<br />I have some knowledge of C programming. <br />&nbsp;<br />Some questions: <br />
<ol>
<li>Regarding the project proposal, Google recommends to avoid copying the prompt. I can write briefly about MinPlatform, but the task outline doesn't leave much room for flexibility. How do I outline this properly?</li>
<li>My legal name does not match my email/preferred name. How do I resolve this (without, for example, the form being rejected because my email and first name don't match)?</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;<br />I have a technical question or two as well, but they can wait. <br />&nbsp;<br />Looking forward to working on TianoCore!
