Since the end of last year they've been talking up their successes using OpenBMC and now as we approach two years of their OpenBMC use within production, they continue singing the praise of this open-source, Linux-based BMC software stack...

I learned about Pingora here and sounds pretty cool (though above my skill set to leverage directly). OpenBMC sounds cools and nice to see big players using and contributing to it.

I very much appreciate these kinds of projects, and the companies and entities that create and contribute to them!
