[Tech-board-discuss] self nomination for TAB elections

[Chris Mason]

Hello everyone,

I'd like to stand for election again this year, and hope to stay in my 
position as TAB chair.  The TAB has been in the news more than usual 
lately, and I deeply appreciate the time and energy everyone has spent 
finding common ground around the new code of conduct.

There are many different working styles among the kernel projects, and I 
feel the quality of our code is closely linked to the quality of our 
collaborations.  I really hope the community is able to use this debate 
to give maintainers and contributors a better toolbox around improving 
the level of discourse in the kernel.

Since starting on the kernel full time in 2000, I’ve mostly worked on 
filesystems and storage, especially on the Btrfs filesystem.  I’ve 
spent the last five years with Facebook’s kernel team, but I've also 
held positions with Fusion-io, Oracle and SUSE.

Please feel free to email me with questions or comments.

Thanks,
Chris

Hello everyone,

I'd like to stand for election again this year, and hope to stay in my 
position as TAB chair.  The Linux Foundation is a key part of the kernel 
community, and I deeply value the chances I’ve had to help the LF and 
the community work together.  I’m especially grateful for the other 
members of the TAB, who always have great advice and ideas.

Since starting on the kernel full time in 2000, I’ve mostly worked on 
filesystems and storage, and especially on the Btrfs filesystem.  I’ve 
spent the last seven years with Facebook’s kernel team, and I’m 
really proud of our work we’re doing to maintain a cycle of features 
and bug fixes between our production kernels and upstream.

Please feel free to email me with questions or comments.

Thanks,
Chris
