The call for nominations is out with a deadline of September 12 - just three days. Now is the time to put in your nomination if you would like to run for a seat on the TAB. Original announcement appended - procrastinate no longer! Thanks, jon The 2022 election for membership on the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board (TAB) will be held electronically during the 2022 Kernel Summit and Linux Plumbers Conference, from September 12 to 14. This announcement covers both the call for candidates and the details of voting in this election. The TAB exists to provide advice from the kernel community to the Linux Foundation; it also serves to facilitate interactions both within the community and with outside entities. Over the last year, the TAB has continued its assistance with the UMN "false commits" episode (including drafting a set of guidelines for researchers working with the community), overseen the organization of the Linux Plumbers Conference, put together guidelines for corporate support of kernel developers and maintainers, advised on code-of-conduct issues, and more. CALL FOR NOMINATIONS The TAB has ten members serving two-year terms; half of the board is elected each year. The members whose terms are expiring this year are: - Laura Abbott - Christian Brauner - Kees Cook - Chris Mason - Dan Williams The members whose terms expire next year are: - Jonathan Corbet - Greg Kroah-Hartman - Sasha Levin - Steve Rostedt - Ted Ts'o Anybody who meets the voting criteria (described below) may self-nominate to run in this election. To nominate yourself, please send an email to: tech-board-discuss@lists.linux-foundation.org Please include a short (<= 200 words) statement describing why you are running and what you would like to accomplish on the TAB; these statements will be collected and made publicly available. The nomination deadline is 9:00AM IST (GMT+1) on September 12. VOTING IN THE TAB ELECTION The criteria for voting in this year's TAB election are unchanged from 2021. To be eligible to vote, you must have at least three commits in a released mainline or stable kernel that: - Have a commit date in 2021 or later - List your email in a Signed-off-by, Tested-by, Reported-by, Reviewed-by, or Acked-by tag. Everybody with at least 50 commits meeting this description will receive a ballot automatically. Eligible voters with less than 50 commits can receive a ballot by sending a request to tab-elections@lists.linuxfoundation.org. We will, once again, be using the Condorcet Internet Voting Service (CIVS) https://civs1.civs.us/ . This is a voting service focused on security and privacy. There are sample polls on the website if you would like to see what a ballot will look like. Please contact tab-elections@lists.linuxfoundation.org if you have any questions.
