Linux Foundation Welcomes LVFS Project (Linux.com)

That would be a great first step! Further steps to promote vendors providing FOSS firmware would be welcome as well: supporting links to source code, maybe ways to feature those vendors more prominently or give them some sort of special treatment. In other words it would be good to show a clear focus on FOSS vendors, but also say "oh and we support proprietary vendors too".

To be clear I definitely appreciate the work LVFS is doing! I'm pushing devs at my company off of Macbooks and onto Dell laptops running GNU/Linux and the presence of LVFS to support firmware upgrades makes this transition that much simpler for everyone. Great stuff!
