I signed up last year as an Individual Affiliate of Linux Foundation and nominated myself as a candidate for Linux Foundation’s Board of Directors. At my Linaro Connect keynote in late September, I publicly announced my candidacy for the 2016 Linux Foundation Board of Directors. If elected, I look forward to the opportunity to give feedback and help directly with Jim’s commitment to help Linux Foundation do good things not just for its corporate members, but for all individuals, too. While Linux Foundation has not yet announced when this years’ elections will occur, I hope all Individual LF Affiliates will watch for the election and vote for me. I’ll of course update the community here on when I know more about the details.

When that was posted the Linux Foundation Individual Affiliate Election page still worked, but now it just says "Access denied - You are not authorized to access this page.".

Here's what I received when I tried to register as an individual 2 months ago:

We’re currently working on the Individual program, so there isn't a way for you to register as an individual at this time. We do hope to have a solution available on our website in the coming weeks and I'll add you to my notification list for that.

In case you're looking for a way to support Linux and The Linux Foundation more immediately, you can also choose to make a donation at https://www.linuxfoundation.org/participate/linux-donate.

thank you,
