Hi, [MNT Research](https://mntre.com/), as many of you know, is a small German shop putting out openspec hardware. Now that the Reform Next is done, they have up a poll asking for community input regarding a next project. One interesting option is an Ampere Altra compact workstation. If you have interest and time, consider placing a vote. My personal opinion is that a shop like this dedicated to open hardware deserves a look and ongoing tracking.

Ampere has made mention of a commitment to opensource firmware in the past. [1](https://amperecomputing.com/developers/enabling-the-open-source-community), [2](https://amperecomputing.com/blogs/open-source-firmware-monthly-cadence-of-new-releases-for-ampere-altra)
