From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Return-Path: Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2019 13:03:30 -0600 From: Jonathan Corbet Message-ID: <20190905130330.3720ae3b@lwn.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Subject: [Tech-board-discuss] TAB nomination List-Id: Public TAB discussion List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , To: tech-board-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org I'm the lead editor of LWN.net and the maintainer of the kernel's documentation "subsystem". Regardless of what I'm working on, my role in the kernel community (and beyond) seems to be focused on ensuring that we all know what we're up to. As part of that role, I am running to be re-elected to the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board. Like many in the TAB, I put a lot of effort during the last couple of years into the creation and adoption of the kernel's code of conduct. Other areas of activity have included trying to improve the technical content at LF events, the management of the Linux Plumbers Conference, mentorship of applicants to the Community Bridge program, and the essential task of keeping spam off the tech-board list. I remain concerned that the Linux Foundation appears to be less than fully transparent to the community, and that it fails to take full advantage of resources like the TAB when conceiving and executing is programs. This, I believe, is more a result of too much work and a lack of prioritization than any sign of a murky agenda, but I have been pushing for improvement in that area and intend to continue to do so. The LF and the TAB are valuable resources for our community; I think we can make them both better yet. jon
