As a maintainer and a developer, I have the responsibility to uphold the technical standards to make the Linux kernel better in each release. I started out as an independent contributor to the Android mainlining effort. I maintain Kernel Selftest and USB over IP drivers. My role as a Kselftest maintainer has overlaps with several critical kernel sub-systems and continues to challenge me to be a good citizen of the community while encouraging others to do the same. During my previous tenure as a TAB member, I contributed to the Linux Kernel Community Enforcement Statement work. It was behind the scenes work to explain the need for the statement and get developers, maintainers and Corporate members to lend their support. It was a very important effort for the continued success of the Linux kernel in the industry as the platform for open source eco-systems. I am proud to have played an important role in the process. It has been an eventful and challenging couple of months for the Linux Community with the recent developments. The Code of Conduct introduction and subsequent discussion shined a spotlight on the community. I have been active and vocal in the efforts to initiate an open discussion to review the Code of Conduct to evolve it to allay concerns from the community. I strongly believe the CoC is a step in the right direction for us as a community to continue to be a welcoming place while maintaining high technical and code standards for acceptance. I am running for TAB to continue the efforts to evolve the CoC process as a member of the Technical Advisory board and work towards making the community a welcoming place for a diverse group of developers. I believe I can bring a unique perspective of women in the open source community to the TAB. I hope I can count on your support to help represent the community. thanks, -- Shuah
