Announcing the new TAB

[Grant Likely]

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.
