Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Elections and Nomination process

Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Elections and Nomination process

[James Bottomley]

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 one of
the Joint events (probably on the Wednesday 20 August) and will be open
to all attendees of the Weeks events (Kernel Summit, LinuxCon and other
summits).

Anyone is eligible to stand for election, simply send your nomination
to:

Tech-board-discuss@lists.linux-foundation.org

We currently have three nominees for five places:

Chris Mason <chris.mason@fusionio.com>
James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

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
August 20th Central Daylight 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).

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
pasting from two years ago).

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.

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>

Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>

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).
