[Ksummit-discuss] Reminder v2: Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board Elections -- Call for nominations

[Chris Mason]

Hello everyone,

Quick update on the TAB elections, we have 6 nominations so far:

Jon Corbet
Greg Kroah-Hartman
Shuah Khan
Steve Rostedt
Ted Tso
Tim Bird

The elections are coming soon, please feel free to contact me if you 
have any questions about the TAB.

-----------------

The Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board (TAB) serves as the
interface between the kernel development community and the Foundation.
The TAB advises the Foundation on kernel-related matters, helps member
companies learn to work with the community, and works to resolve
community-related problems before they get out of hand.  The board has
ten members, one of whom sits on the LF board of directors.  The 
election to select five TAB members will be held at the 2017 Kernel
Summit in Prague, Czech Republic.  The elections will take place at the
conference center on Wednesday Oct 25th, shortly before the evening
reception.

The election will be open to all attendees of all of the Linux
Foundation events taking place that week in Prague.  Anyone is eligible
to stand for election, simply send your nomination to:

tech-board-discuss at lists.linux-foundation.org

Just before the election, everyone will have a chance to introduce
themselves and briefly talk about why they would like to participate on
the Technical Advisory Board.  This year, we're encouraging everyone to
include those details along with their nomination, which we will compile
into an online document for quick reference here:

https://goo.gl/ADVFtT

The deadline for receiving nominations is up until the beginning of the
election event.  Any statements for the online document need to be sent
by Monday Oct 23rd.  Please get your nomination in early so everyone has
a chance to review the nominations before voting.

Chris Mason, TAB Chair

[1] TAB members sit for a term of two years, and half of the board is up
for election every year. Five of the seats are up for election now.  The
other five are halfway through their term and will be up for election
next year.

Hi Chris,

Could you please list the current membership of the TAB, and which members'
terms are expiring?

Thanks Chris and Greg.

Just as a matter of how any rotating board election is conducted,
it seems it would be useful if the election announcement and/or
promotion material gave a little bit more information that is
useful to the voters making an informed decision.  To me, for
the TAB, I take into consideration the balance of representation
of the different portions of the kernel community.  To do that
I have to know who the five remaining member will be.  And knowing
whose links are expiring tells me who of the candidates is
potentially extending their current membership on the TAB,
which is also of interest.

That is a long worded way of saying, I think this information
should be provide to the voters in every TAB election, and
the voters should not have to go seek out the information
(yeah, yeah, lazy voters get what they deserve :-), whatever...).


So, for my fellow lazy voters...  TAB members whose terms are
not expiring are:

Chris Mason
Dan Williams
H. Pete Anvin
Olof Johansson
Rik Van Riel

And the term info is not on the web page, so thank you for
sending that Chris.

Next, it seems to be a tradition for me to ask what has the
TAB been up to for the last year.  My google-fu (also suspect)
leads me to https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/tab/start and
https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/tab/minutes/start which only
has minutes up to October 2010.  Is there a location with
more current minutes?

Thanks,

Frank

Hi Frank,

I used to make a tradition of that also, with the same results.
