Candidate statement: I have been highly involved with the Linux kernel community since 2004, as a developer, a user, maintainer and educator. When I first came onto the board, my platform was to help bridge various parts of the Linux ecosystem. I've been working to help developers reach across their realms of expertise and unite with other developers in order to have better integration of the tools within the GNU and Linux systems. Being part of the advisory board to the Linux Foundation has facilitate this goal. I am also on the planning committee for Linux Plumbers and have become the Microconference Chair. As such I have succeeded in bringing in developers to host a Database microconference for the first time at Plumbers. The combination of being both on the TAB as well as a Plumbers committee member has be extremely useful in my goal of bringing all those that interact with Linux closer together. I would like to continue this work for at least one more term. Little more about me: I'm one of the original developers of the PREEMPT_RT patch (which looks to finally be merged into mainline). I'm the original author and current maintainer of Ftrace, the official tracer of the Linux kernel. I've created ktest.pl that lives in the kernel proper under the tools directory which is a testing framework that was written to help developers run their own tests. I'm also the one that added "make localmodconfig" that brings your kernel compile time down tremendously! -- Steve
