Last week, the TAB held its first meeting since the TAB elections at Kernel Summit and LinuxCon last month. As is our custom, this meeting included both incoming and outgoing members, and was the chance to bring the new members up to speed as well as say goodbye to those who are completing their terms.
I want to say a big thank you to our outgoing members, James Bottomley, Jesse Barnes and Ric Wheeler, who have all served faithfully and done a great job representing our community. I especially want to thank James who has served as the TAB chair since its inception and has tirelessly championed Linux and Open Source developers. Stepping into the TAB are three newly elected members, Kristen Accardi, H. Peter Anvin, and me, Grant Likely. Both Kristen and Peter are well known and respected members of our community, and I'm looking forward working with them. This is Peter's first term on the TAB, while Kristen and I have both served previously. Also, each year the TAB elects a chair to coordinate our meetings and represent the TAB on the Linux Foundation Board of Directors. Normally the chair election is held six months after the TAB general election, but since the chair was held by one of our outgoing members, our first order of business was to elect a new chair. I put my name forward, as did Thomas Gleixner and John Linville. I'm honoured and humbled to announce that the TAB selected me to do the job. I'll work hard to live up to their expectations. The members of the TAB are now: Chair: Grant Likely Vice-chair: Jonathan Corbet Kristen Accardi H. Peter Anvin Matthew Garrett Thomas Gleixner Greg Kroah-Hartman John Linville Chris Mason Sarah Sharp Cheers, g. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
