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 and holds a seat on the LF's board of directors; it also serves to facilitate interactions both within the community and with outside entities. Over the last year, the TAB has overseen the organization of the Linux Plumbers Conference, advised on the setup of the kernel CVE numbering authority, worked behind the scenes to help resolve a number of contentious community discussions, worked with the Linux Foundation on community conference planning, and more. The public minutes from TAB meetings can be found in this repository: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/docs/tab/tab.git/. Note that there will be an "ask us anything" session with the current TAB at the Linux Plumbers Conference; it is currently scheduled for 9:00 on Friday, September 20. 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: - Christian Brauner - Kees Cook - Dave Hansen - Jakub Kicinski - 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.dev 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 17:00 CET (GMT + 2) on September 20. VOTING IN THE TAB ELECTION The criteria for voting in this year's TAB election are unchanged from last year. 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 2023 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; they will receive an email confirming this status shortly. 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.linux.dev if you have any questions.
