| Linux Foundation announces TAB winners |
Dec. 09, 2008
The Linux Foundation (LF) announced the results of its Technical Advisory Board (TAB) election. Six new members were elected to the ten-member TAB, originating from companies including Intel, Oracle, and Red Hat, says the LF.
The TAB participates in LF events, including its Annual Collaboration Summit, which next year takes place in San Francisco. The TAB will also participate in the first-annual LinuxCon conference, scheduled for next fall.
TAB members are elected by their peers to serve staggered, two-year terms, says the LF. The group is said to collaborate with the LF on "programs and issues that affect the Linux community." TAB also contributes a member to sit on the LF board.
The new TAB board members are:- James Bottomley -- Linux kernel maintainer of the SCSI subsystem, the Linux Voyager port, and the 53c700 driver
- Kristen Carlson Accardi -- kernel developer at Intel, and contributor to the ACPI, PCI, and SATA subsystems
- Christoph Hellwig -- software architect and developer in the storage software sector (one-year term)
- Chris Mason -- Oracle kernel development team member and creator of the Btrfs file system
- Dave Jones -- maintainer of the Fedora kernel at Red Hat
- Chris Wright -- Red Hat employee who acts as maintainer for the LSM framework, and co-maintainer of the -stable Linux kernel tree
The remaining four TAB members, who have already served a year, include Jonathan Corbet, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Christoph Lameter, and Arjan Van de Ven, says the LF.
Stated Amanda McPherson, VP of marketing and developer programs for the LF, "The Technical Advisory Board plays a key role in helping the Linux Foundation and its members understand how best to collaborate on projects that help advance the Linux operating system for all its stakeholders."
