This year, in order to allow for wider participation, we thought we'd try holding the BFF last thing before the Plumbers Conf Aura Lounge event (say around 6:30pm---i.e. after dinner but before the Aura event) and allow not only KS attendees but also Plumbers Conf attendees to vote. Update: The TAB has had one recent resignation, so the person coming sixth in the vote will be appointed to serve out the remainder of that term (one year). Anyone is eligible to stand for election, simply send your nomination to: Tech-board-discuss@lists.linux-foundation.org We currently have Nine nominees for the 5+1 places: Matt Mackall James Bottomley Theodore Tso Chris Wright Randy Dunlap Kyle McMartin Kristen Carlson Accardi Matthew Wilcox Christoph Hellwig The deadline for receiving nominations is up until the BOF where the election is held (on the Evening of 16 September. 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). James Bottomley (TAB Chair)
