First of all: do not forget to nominate yourself if you are interested in serving on the TAB. I'll append the call for nominations to this message for folks needing a reminder. Everybody who is eligible to receive a ballot automatically should have received a note from me last week indicating that fact. If you are eligible for an automatic ballot and did not receive that note, please contact me directly; there were quite a few bounced mailings. Also remember that you must activate your email address with the CIVS service prior to the start of voting or you will not receive your ballot: https://civs1.civs.us/cgi-bin/opt_in.pl Unfortunately, some of the companies employing kernel developers have adopted creative spam-management solutions that prevent the CIVS activation emails from arriving. If that affects you, you will need to provide an alternative, working email address to be able to vote. Please go ahead and activate your email address soon and contact us if you need to vote from a different address. It will probably *not* be possible to make changes once the voting has begun. Feel free to email tab-elections@lists.linuxfoundation.org with any questions. Thanks, jon The 2022 election for membership on the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board (TAB) will be held electronically during the 2022 Kernel Summit and Linux Plumbers Conference, from September 12 to 14. This announcement covers both the call for candidates and the details of voting in this election. The TAB exists to provide advice from the kernel community to the Linux Foundation; it also serves to facilitate interactions both within the community and with outside entities. Over the last year, the TAB has continued its assistance with the UMN "false commits" episode (including drafting a set of guidelines for researchers working with the community), overseen the organization of the Linux Plumbers Conference, put together guidelines for corporate support of kernel developers and maintainers, advised on code-of-conduct issues, and more. CALL FOR NOMINATIONS The TAB has ten members serving two-year terms; half of the board is elected each year. The members whose terms are expiring this year are: - Laura Abbott - Christian Brauner - Kees Cook - Chris Mason - Dan Williams The members whose terms expire next year are: - Jonathan Corbet - Greg Kroah-Hartman - Sasha Levin - Steve Rostedt - Ted Ts'o Anybody who meets the voting criteria (described below) may self-nominate to run in this election. To nominate yourself, please send an email to: tech-board-discuss@lists.linux-foundation.org Please include a short (<= 200 words) statement describing why you are running and what you would like to accomplish on the TAB; these statements will be collected and made publicly available. The nomination deadline is 9:00AM IST (GMT+1) on September 12. VOTING IN THE TAB ELECTION The criteria for voting in this year's TAB election are unchanged from 2021. To be eligible to vote, you must have at least three commits in a released mainline or stable kernel that: - Have a commit date in 2021 or later - List your email in a Signed-off-by, Tested-by, Reported-by, Reviewed-by, or Acked-by tag. Everybody with at least 50 commits meeting this description will receive a ballot automatically. Eligible voters with less than 50 commits can receive a ballot by sending a request to tab-elections@lists.linuxfoundation.org. We will, once again, be using the Condorcet Internet Voting Service (CIVS) https://civs1.civs.us/ . This is a voting service focused on security and privacy. There are sample polls on the website if you would like to see what a ballot will look like. Please contact tab-elections@lists.linuxfoundation.org if you have any questions.
