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.

If it's appropriate to ask this, can you list what you've accomplished
in your two year term on the TAB?

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

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>

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).
