+ <p>
+ <strong>Libreboot is becoming part of the GNU project, and we need help with the transition. <a href="../gnu/">Click here</a> for more information</strong>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ There are many ways that you can assist the libreboot project. We have a <a href="../docs/tasks.html">list of tasks that need to be completed</a>,
+ which you can work on (you can also add to that list). Generally speaking, adding support for more hardware is a priority for the libreboot project.
+ Information about maintaining libreboot can be found <a href="../docs/maintain/index.html">here</a>
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ We especially need more skilled coreboot hackers to do work that will benefit the libreboot project.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Learn libreboot from the inside out; download the git repository, and study libreboot. We need more full-time developers
+ who can help to maintain the project.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Not a developer? You can still help!
+ </p>
+ <ul class="c">
+ <li>Work towards convincing hardware manufacturers and designers to start caring about free software. Perhaps even build your own hardware.</li>
+ <li>Spread the word about libreboot! Tell your friends about it, and talk about it on public internet-based discussion networks (e.g. <em>social networks</em>).</li>
+ <li>Install and use libreboot yourself, showing it to others and promoting it that
+ way. <a href="../suppliers/">Computers with libreboot preinstalled are also available</a>, which helps to fund the libreboot project.</li>
+ <li>Help others to install libreboot. For example, organize an installation workshop at your local GNU/Linux users group or local meeting place.</li>
+ <li>Assist with improving the libreboot documentation, so that others may find it easier to use.</li>

Some people put their name on their work, for recognition, and it's OK if you want to do that; however, the libreboot project does not require this. Some projects
