Hi there,
good news from the German Government. See:
FSFE welcomes German Government's White Paper on "Secure Boot" http://fsfe.org/news/2012/news-20121120-01.en.html
If you think that work is important and you have not yet done so, please become a supporter of FSFE: http://fsfe.org/support/?restrictedboot (it does not cost anything and takes 4 minutes) AND please ask three friends to also do so!
Regards, Matthias
