It's been a somewhat stressful time for the TAB lately, given the Code of Conduct changes that we ended up in the middle of, but I've also found the work to be meaningful and worthwhile. Some portions of it around process and procedures are not yet complete, and I'd like an opportunity to see it through. Specific contributions from me around the code of conduct have been the separation of direct TAB and code of conduct work in a cooperative way that also provides a second level of checks if needed. I've also been pushing for the need for timely anonymous statistics from the TAB/committee, with the hope that it will ease off some of the fears of the unknown as these changes are made. Besides those recent developments, some of the work I've felt most satisfaction from through the years is when I've been able to help get companies and other contributors to come in and participate upstream. In particular some ARM vendors have come a long way in working with the community, even if it is always a work in progress. I've been around the kernel project for about 15 years, and maintainer of arm-soc together with Arnd and Kevin for 7 years now. For most of this time I've been involved in embedded platforms in some way or other, and it's a viewpoint and representation I bring to the TAB that hasn't traditionally been heavily represented. Thanks, -Olof
