I would like to nominate myself for reelection to the Linux Foundation's
Technical Advisory Board (TAB).

I've been a long-time Linux kernel developer of many different parts of
the kernel, and through that work over the years have had to deal with
the interaction between the community and the corporate and legal worlds
that make up the Linux kernel ecosystem.  For the past 5 years, my job
at the Linux Foundation has allowed me to be able to work directly with
a large number of companies to help them learn what it is to be an
integral part of the community, which enables the system as a whole to
be stronger and grow together.

In my many years on the TAB, I have been involved in the Linux Driver
statement, the GPLv3 statement, the Code of Conflict work, and most
recently, helped finish off the Linux Kernel Enforcement Statement.  I
also helped negotiate the current situation with the UEFI group, which
allows individual Linux kernel developers to participate in the creation
of the UEFI and ACPI specifications so that Linux will work
properly on those types of systems.

If I am reelected to the TAB, I will continue to work on these types of
issues, helping bridge the gap that occurs at times between the Linux
community and companies that rely on Linux.  For it is only by working
together that Linux can continue to succeed.
