I'm volunteering again to stand for election to the LF Technical Advisory Board. My primary concern for Linux is its security. I'm a member of the security@kernel.org response team, lead the Kernel Self-Protection Project[1], maintain[2] the kernel hardening, seccomp, and pstore trees, and co-maintain the exec and binfmt tree. As a result, I frequently work kernel-wide across many subsystems (or many architectures) when helping land various security defenses. This cross-maintainer work is a unique social and technical challenge, and the topic of "security" is a similarly wide and unique challenge. I'd like to continue to represent both of these concerns on the TAB. In addition, I also bring several "downstream" perspectives on how the kernel is consumed, from those of a general-purpose distro (having lead Ubuntu's security team) to those of special-purpose device vendors (having worked on Chrome OS, Android, and Google Cloud). Some examples of my contributions over the last 2 years on the TAB were helping respond to the XZ backdoor[3], examining past XZ kernel commits, and reviewing various community support documents like the Linux Kernel Contribution Maturity Model[4]. I've also continued to support[5] the TAB's online election process, with regular refreshes of contributor metrics.
