Hello everyone, Friendly reminder that the TAB elections are coming soon:
The Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board (TAB) serves as the interface between the kernel development community and the Linux Foundation. The TAB advises the Foundation on kernel-related matters, helps member companies learn to work with the community, and works to resolve community-related problems before they get out of hand. We also support the Code of Conduct committee in their mission. The board has ten members, one of whom sits on the Linux Foundation board of directors. The election to select five TAB members will be held at the 2019 Kernel Summit in Lisbon, Portugal September 9-11. As has been announced[2], we are moving to an electronic voting system this year. Further details about the exact voting procedures will be coming soon. Anyone is eligible to stand for election, simply send your nomination to: tech-board-discuss at lists.linux-foundation.org With your nomination, please include a short candidate statement. This candidate statement should focus on why you are running and what you hope to accomplish on the TAB. We will be collecting these statements and making them publicly available. The deadline for receiving nominations is 9am GMT+1 on September 9th (the first day of Kernel Summit). Due to the use of electronic voting, this will be a hard deadline! Current TAB members, and their election year: Jon Corbet 2017 Greg Kroah-Hartman 2017 Steven Rostedt 2017 Ted Tso 2017 Tim Bird 2017 Chris Mason 2018 Laura Abbott 2018 Olof Johansson 2018 Kees Cook 2018 Dan Williams 2018 The five slots from 2017 are all up for election. As always, please let us know if you have questions, and please do consider running. Thanks, Laura [1] TAB members sit for a term of two years, and half of the board is up for election every year. Five of the seats are up for election now. The other five are halfway through their term and will be up for election next year.
