[Tech-board-discuss] [Potential Spoof] [Tech-board] [draft v2] Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Elections and Nomination process

[Chris Mason]

Hello everyone,

The elections for five of the ten members of the Linux Foundation 
Technical Advisory Board (TAB) are held every year[1]. This year the
election will be at the 2016 Kernel Summit in Santa Fe, NM.

The elections will take place at the conference center on Wednesday Nov 
2nd, shortly before the evening Kernel Summit/Plumbers reception.  The 
elections will be open to all attendees of both the Kernel Summit and 
the Linux Plumbers.

Anyone is eligible to stand for election, simply send your nomination to:

tech-board-discuss at lists.linux-foundation.org

Just before the election, everyone will have a chance to introduce 
themselves and briefly talk about why they would like to participate on 
the Technical Advisory Board.   This year, we're encouraging everyone to 
include those details along with their nomination, which we will compile 
into an online document for quick reference.

The deadline for receiving nominations is up until the beginning of
the event where the election is held.  Any statements for the online 
document need to be sent by Friday Oct 28th.  Please remember if
you're not going to be present that things go wrong with both networks
and mailing lists, so get your nomination in early).

Chris Mason, TAB Chair

[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.

That's it. Any nominations received after this point will not make it
onto the pre-printed ballot. (Nominations are still open. There are
blank spaces on the ballot for writing in other names)

I would like to nominate Sage Weil with his consent.

Sage has lead the ceph project since its inception, contributed to the kernel as 
well as had an influence on projects like openstack.

[Tech-board-discuss] Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Elections and Nomination process

[Grant Likely]

[Resending because I messed up the first one]

The elections for five of the ten members of the Linux Foundation
Technical Advisory Board (TAB) are held every year[1]. This year the
election will be at the 2015 Kernel Summit in Seoul, South Korea
(probably on the Monday, 26 October) and will be open to all attendees
of both Kernel Summit and Korea Linux Forum.

Anyone is eligible to stand for election, simply send your nomination to:

Tech-board-discuss@lists.linux-foundation.org

We currently have 3 nominees for five places:
Thomas Gleixner
Greg Kroah-Hartman
Stephen Hemminger

The deadline for receiving nominations is up until the beginning of
the event where the election is held. Although, please remember if
you're not going to be present that things go wrong with both networks
and mailing lists, so get your nomination in early).

Grant Likely, TAB Chair

[1] TAB members sit for a term of 2 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 half way through their term and will be up for
election next year. The history of the TAB elections can be found

Update on current status

The elections for five of the ten members of the Linux Foundation
Technical Advisory Board[TAB] are held every year. Currently the
election will be at the 2014 Kernel Summit in Chicago, USA, at the joint
event on Wednesday 20 August at the museum of science and industry.  The
election will be held at 20:00 in a room specially reserved for the
purpose.   We now have ten candidates for election.  The first four are
incumbents plus six newcomers:

Chris Mason <clm@fb.com>
James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
Ric Wheeler <ricwheeler@gmail.com>
H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>
Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>
Kristen Accardi <kaccardi@gmail.com>

Any candidate not present at 20:00 will have their nomination statement
read out by the person running the election (Either Jon Corbet or Greg
K-H).

Anybody wishing to stand may still nominate any time before 20:00 on
Wednesday by replying to this email (although nominations must be
received by 20:00 so don't wait until the last moment ... especially
with the networking problems we've been having at the Kernel Summit).

The Time and Place for the election will be 20:00 at the Museum of
Science and Industry on Wednesday 20 August (The joint KS/LinuxCon
event).

We still have only 3 nominations for 5 places, So we'll do a last call
for nominations at 20:00 and if there are five or fewer, there won't be
an election and the TAB will use its charter process to appoint people
to fill any shortfall.

Since I can't make the reception...

My name is Chris Wright and I am standing for re-election as a member
of the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board.  I've been involved
with Linux kernel developement for over 10 years now, spanning areas of
security, Linux -stable tree, and virtualization.  I currently represent
virtualization interests on the TAB.

I have advocated for and been involved with the TAB since its inception
roughly 5 years ago.  I got involved out of an interest in ensuring
that the (at the time) OSDL's resources were put to more constructive
use for the Linux kernel community.

As a technical voice of reason, the TAB provides input to the Linux
Foundation to help guide its efforts.  Over time, I believe the TAB has
helped the LF build more constructive communication between the different
communities it represents (developers, vendors, end users).  As a member
of the TAB, I am often called upon to represent the community in LF events
(LinuxCon, Collaboration Summit, End User Summit).  You'll typically find
me there leading discussions on virtualization and looking for ways to
improve the Linux in that context.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to represent on the TAB since
it began.  I'd be honored to continue.

thanks,
-chris

I'm curious about the same things .. I read the minutes, but it's hard
to know what was accomplished .. I thought it would be fun to nominate
myself, but the only reason I would want to win is so I can say "I'm on
the TAB." and that's not a very good agenda ..

I would like to place my name into consideration.

Many of you have at least some idea of who I am.  For others, a
few highlights:

	-- wireless LAN maintainer since early-2006

	-- Red Hat employee since mid-2004; and,

	-- prior experience developing embedded software
	   for networking boxes (i.e. switches and routers), including
	   some time as "the Linux guy" at a startup.

In my time as a public member of the Linux community, I think I have
demonstrated the ability to facilitate cooperation between individual
contributors, distributions, and hardware vendors.  I've 'been around'
long enough to know the 'lay of the land' for getting things done,
and I have good relationships with a variety of community members
including members of other firms and staff at community organizations
such as the Linux Foundation and the Software Freedom Law Center.

As for an agenda, I don't really have one.  As Randy attempts to
illustrate, what the TAB does is not always clear to those of us who
aren't members of it.  That said, my goal is simply to exercise my best
judgment while representing the community at large and to give good
council to the Linux Foundation on how best to serve that community.

Thanks,

John

I suppose that nominees will make a statement about their qualifications
(or at least be allowed to do so).

What does the TAB do?  What has it done in the past year or two?

There are no recent meeting minutes at

Why not you?

Also, although it isn't my only focus, I certainly deal with a good
bit of the embedded stuff at Cisco, albeit mostly on the big end with
high-end switches/routers, although I do have a fair amount of contact
with the Linksys and Scientific Atlanta (set-top box) people.  So I
could be the "embedded candidate" too :)

Just an update on this with actual location information.  The election
will be held at Gonpachi in Ginza:

http://www.gonpachi.jp/en/g_zone/home/location

We'll start the proceedings at 21:00 or shortly afterwards.  Any JLS or
KS attendee is welcome to turn up and vote (small quantities of food and
beverage will be provided as an incentive).  Nominations will be
accepted at the location until shortly after 21:00.

[Tech-board-discuss] Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Elections and Nomination process

[James Bottomley]

The elections for five of the ten members of the Linux Foundation
Technical Advisory Board[TAB] are held every year, currently the
election will be at the 2009 Kernel Summit in a BoF session on Tuesday
just after the close of the Kernel Summit proper.  The idea is to be
open to both KS and JLS attendees who wish to vote (should a joint event
between KS and JLS on Tuesday turn up, it will be held there instead). 

Anyone is eligible to stand for election, simply send your nomination
to:

Tech-board-discuss@lists.linux-foundation.org

We currently have Five nominees (the incumbents):

Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>
Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com>
Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org>
Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

The deadline for receiving nominations is up until the BoF where the
election is held (on the Evening of 19 October Japan time). Although,
please remember if you're not going to be present that things go wrong
with both networks and mailing lists, so get your nomination in early).
