I sometimes blog about the = kernel community and this is a chance for me to actually put my money where my mouth is. I've been working in the kernel community long enough at this point that people know who I am as a Fedora kernel maintainer and a contributor in the security and ARM areas. I also joined the kernel community = recently enough that I can remember what it was like to be a beginner starting out. I = usually tell people that I've had a fairly positive experience in the kernel = community and I'd like to make sure that everyone can have an even better = experience. The kernel community has certainly grown and changed over the years and it's important to both reflect on how far we've come and what else = we can do to make things better. I was certainly in favor of seeing a stronger code of conduct as the = previous code of conflict had deficits in certain areas. I've also learned a lot = reading the objections people had to both the code of conduct itself and how it was implemented. I strongly believe that a strong code of conduct and a being a community that values technical excellence are well aligned = goals. Continuing to discuss these issues transparently is an going to be an = important point going forward. The TAB has worked on a number of tricky issues such as malicious GPL compliance for the betterment of the kernel community. I'd like to see the TAB continue to work on issues like the Code of Conduct and also think about what more can be done to work on building up new = contributors and maintainers to support the existing maintainers. I don't believe I = have all the answers or will always be right but I look forward to the chance = to learn and help serve the kernel community. Thanks, Laura=
