I've been involved in the container and namespace area of the kernel which spans across multiple subsystems for some time. I maintain the Android binderfs filesystem and the new pidfd api while being active in various other areas of the kernel. I also I maintain several large userspace projects and co-organized a few conferences over the years including this year's All Systems Go in Berlin and the container's microconference at the Linux Plumbers conference the last couple of years. I constantly try to lower the barrier for getting into kernel development, supervising Linux-focussed bachelor theses and functioning as a mentor. Even though it's slightly scary, stepping up for TAB nomination to help maintain, defend, and grow Linux and especially the community around it is a great way of giving back to a project that has proved invaluable not just to me personally but to a great deal of people and companies. The last couple of years I've worked together with various companies across the industry focusing on container related technologies and security. Serving on the TAB I intend to use this experience. I also want to grow the community by helping with projects and programs such as CommunityBridge that try to bring in new developers and ideas which is vital to every open source project. I also hope that stepping up for TAB nomination will encourage more people to do so in the future and I thank everyone who encouraged me to do so. :) Christian
