Hi!

Ekaitz gave a great talk about trust and the boostrap problem. And did a bit of Q&A on his future plans, along with the what it's like being sponsored to do this sort of work. The video is published:

If you'd like to see his slides they're available here: https://ekaitz.elenq.tech/bootstrapGcc16.html

Enjoy it!

> The bootstrapping problem is that many OS's can't build themselves from source. Somewhere in the chain there is a compiler binary that was created at a previous point in history. The impact on security and trust is that we can't assure ourselves that the platform hasn't been backdoored [0]. Ekaitz and many others have been working on bringing up RISC-V with a full source bootstrap for the last couple of years. In this talk he'll introduce RISC-V, the bootstrap problem and talk about the journey to a full source bootstrap in Guix.
