The pool of eligible voters will consist of the following: 1) All attendees of the Linux Plumbers conference (i.e. kernel summit) 2) Anyone who is not a kernel summit attendee will also be eligible to vote if the following criteria are met: -- There exists three kernel commits in a mainline or stable released kernel that --- Have a commit date in the year 2019 or 2020 --- Contain an e-mail address in one of the following tags or merged tags (e.g. Reviewed-and-tested-by) ---- Signed-off-by ---- Tested-by ---- Reported-by ---- Reviewed-by ---- Acked-by We will be using the electronic voting method that we used in 2019. All Linux Plumbers Attendees will automatically receive a ballot. Anyone who is otherwise eligible to vote should e-mail tab-elections@lists.linuxfoundation.org to request a ballot. The deadline for requesting a ballot is August 17, 00:00 UTC (one week before Linux Plumbers) For those who would like to know the thought process behind this: Last year, we successfully used electronic voting for the TAB elections. Given the circumstances of this year, we have no other reasonable option for voting. While we could continue to limit voting to kernel summit attendees, one of the goals of moving away from in person voting was to potentially expand the voter pool. Since kernel summit is not being held in person this year, it makes sense to expand the voting pool at the same time. We will be sending a call for nominations and announcements about when voting will start at a later date. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the tab at tab@lists.linuxfoundation.org
