At the time I started doing it, on my spare time, we started with about 30 patches merged per Kernel release, having a consistent sustainable grow along this time. We have now about 400-500 patches per merge window, being one of the most active development community. I also didn't miss a single merge window. I've also been participating at the Kernel Summits and on other LF events for quite a while, and having organized/participated events specific for the media development since 2007, as I believe that face to face meetings help a lot to make our community stronger and helps to solve problems and get consensus on themes that would otherwise require a lot of time and efforts to do via other means. I'm feeling that it is now the time to give one step further and to offer my contributions as a TAB member. I believe I can add value to TAB, as it sounds clear to me that we want to give a message that the Kernel community is a welcomed place for everyone, and not just for the US/EU white people. I believe that having a South American representative that was very welcomed at the Kernel community, with does a great job and that strongly believe that we've being doing a great job over those years to accept good code, no matter about physical and cultural aspects of the developer will help to spread the message that we welcome everyone that can write good Kernel code and can behave inside an open source community. I also believe that I can contribute to attract more developers that don't match a specific stereotype and help to conduct discussions that will help our community to grow on a sane way. Cheers, Mauro
