[Ksummit-discuss] Last minute nominations: mcgrof and toshi

["Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>]

Ted noted to send last minute self nominations by Wednesday.  This is my last
minute self nomination, I'm also making a last minute nominating for Toshi.

I would like to nominate myself for this years KS.  I've already been
summoned about these topics through this list and confirm interest
in participating in these discussions:

 * Semantics of MMIO mapping attributes accross archs
 * Signature management - keys, modules, firmware.

I haven't seen Toshi on the list of nominated folks but I do think that having
Toshi present would be crucial for the semantics over MMIO mapping discussion,
if he could make it, so Cc'ing him and also making a last minute nomination for
him.

But I'm also interested in these other topics as well:

 * Recruitment
 * Compute-Offload Devices
 * Testing
 * Documentation
 * GPL Enforcement

In general I'm very interested in the long term over how we can scale the pace
of Linux kernel development and not only manage it but see how we can actually
do it better and faster if needed. So I'm very interested in topics  such as
semantics and tools to help with maintainer's work, deprecating drivers, bug
finding, recruitment, education, testing, and automatically backporting the
kernel. In particular in the last few years I've been paying close attention
towards what we could do better when introducing in new APIs, as that would be
a good place to test new ideas and quickly make bad ones fail.
