BOF Request for Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Election

BOF Request for Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Election

[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 2008 Kernel Summit in a BOF session.  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 5:30pm) and allow not only KS attendees but also Plumbers Conf
attendees to vote.

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

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

We currently have Five nominees:

Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com>
James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>
Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>
Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net>

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 forgot a piece: if you can't make it to the election (ie you won't
be at KS or Plumbers'), you can send a statement to be read on your
behalf before the voting.

Also, I'm pretty sure we're only accepting self-nominations.

The elections for five of the ten members of the Linux Foundation

election will be at the 2008 Kernel Summit in a BOF session.  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:

Did Dave Jones' nomination get overlooked?

Is voting only by those present?  Or can people cast votes remotely?

As with previous elections, only those present.

Since the positions aren't due to be presented until then, it wouldn't
be entirely fair.

Of course, we can't prevent you from bribing an attendee who wasn't
going to attend to be your proxy.
