Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board election: nominees sought

[Posted August 25, 2021 by corbet]

The call for nominees for the 2021 Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board election has gone out.

The TAB serves as the interface between the kernel development community and the Linux Foundation, advising the Foundation on kernel-related matters, helping member companies learn to work with the community, and working to resolve community-related problems (preferably before they get out of hand). We also support the Code of Conduct committee in their mission.

The election itself will be held during the Linux Plumbers Conference, September 20 to 24. Note that the election procedures have changed this year with an eye toward broadening the community that is eligible to vote.

I know they don't mean it this way, but:

"We have a script to audit all names and catch duplicates (different
e-mails for work vs personal). If you know people who fall into
this category we strongly encourage you to encourage them to vote."

makes it look like they are encouraging people who have multiple e-mail addresses to vote (maybe more than once).
