Just as a matter of how any rotating board election is conducted, it seems it would be useful if the election announcement and/or promotion material gave a little bit more information that is useful to the voters making an informed decision. To me, for the TAB, I take into consideration the balance of representation of the different portions of the kernel community. To do that I have to know who the five remaining member will be. And knowing whose links are expiring tells me who of the candidates is potentially extending their current membership on the TAB, which is also of interest. That is a long worded way of saying, I think this information should be provide to the voters in every TAB election, and the voters should not have to go seek out the information (yeah, yeah, lazy voters get what they deserve :-), whatever...). So, for my fellow lazy voters... TAB members whose terms are not expiring are: Chris Mason Dan Williams H. Pete Anvin Olof Johansson Rik Van Riel And the term info is not on the web page, so thank you for sending that Chris. Next, it seems to be a tradition for me to ask what has the TAB been up to for the last year. My google-fu (also suspect) leads me to https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/tab/start and https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/tab/minutes/start which only has minutes up to October 2010. Is there a location with more current minutes? Thanks, Frank
