I'm looking to complete the MinPlatform board port task for an Acer As= pire VN7-572G laptop, which is a Skylake-U platform supported by the Kabyla= ke FSP. I have previously written a coreboot port for the same board, still pendin= g review. I hope the fact that some of the board-level understanding is com= plete does not preclude me from participating, but many implementation deta= ils 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 a= s well. I've also previously worked on an EDK2 fork, adding and developing feature= s for UefiPayloadPkg on coreboot (I can link it if anyone wants to see and = possibly work on upstreaming my commits a different time). I have some knowledge of C programming. Some questions: * Regarding the project proposal, Google recommends to avoid copying the p= rompt. I can write briefly about MinPlatform, but the task outline doesn't = leave much room for flexibility. How do I outline this properly? * My legal name does not match my email/preferred name. How do I resolve t= his (without, for example, the form being rejected because my email and fir= st name don't match)? I have a technical question or two as well, but they can wait. Looking forward to working on TianoCore! --zd2OFHQyBjO1YYAxj3lV Content-Type: text/html; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi all,

I've also p= reviously worked on an EDK2 fork, adding and developing features for UefiPa= yloadPkg on coreboot (I can link it if anyone wants to see and possibly wor= k on upstreaming my commits a different time).
I have some knowledge o= f C programming.
 
Some questions:
  1. 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?
  2. 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 f= irst name don't match)?
 
I have a technical question or two as well, but they can wait.=
 
Looking forward to working on TianoCore! --zd2OFHQyBjO1YYAxj3lV--
