[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

That's it. Any nominations received after this point will not make it

blank spaces on the ballot for writing in other names)

Is there a good description of what is expected of a TAB member? How much time
is involved? What makes a great TAB member?
I've found: http://www.linuxfoundation.org/programs/advisory-councils/tab
I've read the charter and scanned some of the minutes, but I'd still like to
hear from some of the "incumbants". Specifically, what makes you successful as a
member of the TAB?

Also on the topic of the TAB and elections, I cannot figure out what:
"Only one vote per candidate will be counted."
means in:
Voting:
-------
Each person present at the time of the election shall be handed a printed
ballot. Voters may vote for as many candidates as they wish. Only one
vote per candidate will be counted. A space will be provided where
they can fill out the ballot in private and place it into a box to be
counted in private.

I've been asked several versions of the same question, and also the
annual "what does the TAB actually do?" question, so I'm going to try
and answer them all in one email:
As the name implies, the primary job of the TAB is to advise the Linux
Foundation board of directors on technical, social and political
issues regarding Linux and Open Source. Our job is to represent the
views of Linux developers and to foster constructive communication
between the Linux Foundation leadership and our community.
A natural by-product of this is that the TAB also acts in the
background to identify and resolve issues for the Linux community
before they become a problem. The TAB tends to be composed of well
respected individuals with good connections throughout our community,
and so we're in a good place to recognize who to talk to when an issue
is raised.
Finally, there are a few projects that the TAB is directly responsible
for. We make sure there is a planning committee for the Linux Plumbers
conference every year. We run a 'buddy' program to help new Linux
Foundation member companies learn how to be fine upstanding Linux
citizens. We are the response team for any issues of harassment or
abuse within the kernel community. In past years we coordinated the
response to UEFI Secure Boot to ensure that Linux would not be locked
out of the consumer PC market, and been active in helping member
companies understand and be comfortable with the licencing obligations
associated with Linux.
A good TAB member is well respected by the community, is a ready
listener, is comfortable discussing both technical and social issues,
and has a good understanding of how the Linux community works. Since
the TAB deals with a wide range of issues, the ideal TAB candidate
should be prepared to consider issues outside of their own area of
expertise. Sometime the most important characteristic of a TAB member
is recognizing when an issue is beyond their depth and go looking for
the right person to consult.
Time commitment wise, The TAB meets once a month for a conference
call, plus any additional time required to deal with TAB business.
Once a year (6 months after the TAB general election) the TAB elects
one member to serve as the chair, and the chair of the TAB is proposed
to the Linux Foundation to serve as a Linux Foundation Director which
has additional time requirements.
One last point, some issues addressed by the TAB are highly sensitive
and any member can request a topic to be kept strictly confidential.
We do this to protect the working relationship we have with industry
bodies, and to protect the companies and individuals involved. Any
prospective TAB member must be comfortable abiding by our
confidentiality rules.
I hope this answers your questions.

Great summary, Grant, thanks.
A few additions of my own...
- The Linux Foundation tends to ask TAB members if they can give talks at
events. Even more than free software development in general, TAB
membership can be good if you don't like buying your own T-shirts!
- The TAB has been named in the kernel's "code of conflict" as the body
that will receive complaints about harassment or other untoward
behavior in our community and try to resolve them. Thus far, no such
complaints have been presented, but TAB members need to be prepared for
that to happen.
- It has been my feeling for a fair while that the LF could make more use
of the TAB and its expertise than happens currently. Good TAB members
might be those who are willing to let the LF know when they have an
opinion on what the LF should be doing with and for the community. As
an example, some of us have been pushing for the TAB to help with the
selection of technical talks at LF conferences; I *think* that we
provided useful input for LCE this year.
That ties in to my last thought...in my time on the TAB, I've noticed
that most of the work tends to be done by a relatively small subset of
the members. Perhaps every committee is like that, in the end. A
successful TAB member, IMO, is one who is willing to make the time to not
just attend attend the meetings (which may be at less-than-convenient
times depending on where you live and travel), but also to commit to
putting some time into helping out when there's something to be done.

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.

Thanks to everyone for the corrections: Chris does work at Facebook now,
so his address is clm@fb.com (I should have checked before cutting and

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.

The deadline for receiving nominations is up until the beginning of the
event where the election is held (Currently thought to be the evening of
23 October British Summer Time). Although, please remember if you'renot
going to be present that things go wrong with both networks and mailing
lists, so get your nomination in early).
Since we now have an election, it will be held in the event at the
National Museum tonight (Wednesday 23 October), probably around 21:30
(Kernel Summit attendees have a separate dinner, so we all need time to
get over to the Museum). Each candidate will give a short nomination
pitch and then all those present will get to vote by a show of hands for
their preferred set.

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
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/programs/advisory-councils/tab
to try to evaluate anything about the TAB afaict.
thanks,

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

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).
