It's too easy. All you have to do is note the significant overlap between the KS program committee and the TAB. Program Committee Jens Axboe, Oracle * James Bottomley, SteelEye Jonathon Corbet, LWN.net Steve Hemminger, OSDL/The Linux Foundation Dirk Hohndel, Intel Gerrit Huizenga, IBM Dave Jones, Red Hat Andi Kleen, Novell * Greg Kroah-Hartman, Novell/SuSE Labs * Matthew Mackall, Selenic Consulting * Andrew Morton, Google * Theodore Ts'o, IBM TAB members: * James Bottomley Wim Coekaerts Randy Dunlap * Greg Kroah-Hartman Christoph Lameter * Matt Mackall * Andrew Morton * Theodore Ts'o Arjan van de Ven Chris Wright There you have it. Half of the board sit on the committee who decides who their electorate are! On a serious note, James, I think you mis-spoke when you said that Andrew Morton's term was up this year., My understanding is that people are elected for two years, and he was elected last year, so my list of people whose terms are up is: Wim Coekaerts Greg Kroah-Hartman Christoph Lameter Arjan van de Ven According to the August minutes, Randy was elected back to the TAB then, so there's actually only four slots up for re-election this year. -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step." - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
