Subject: [Tech-board-discuss] TAB nomination for Dave Taht
Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2016 11:53:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAA93jw4jbzV=HyjV+rM365=VX-F6S2NTr4jr8Fj-bC7p78XSCQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I'm standing for election to the Technical Advisory Board.

I have been working on, in, and around Linux since 1993, and have been
deeply involved in the embedded Linux ecosystem since 1998. I run the
bufferbloat project[1], which is trying to eliminate network latency
from everything, with much of the work designed for and landing in
Linux. Most of my efforts in the past year have been around finding
ways to make wifi scale up to the new demands placed on it, in the
make-wifi-fast project[2]. I also work with the IETF aqm/babel and
IEEE 802.11 working groups, and last year spearheaded a campaign
explaining a few complex issues about embedded software to government
agencies like the FCC[3].

My purpose in running for the TAB is to A) facilitate better
communications about the real problems technically, organizationally,
and politically, in a rapidly changing, and often terrifying, world of
ever more computers everywhere, and B) to help try to develop coherent
responses and long term development, support and plans sufficient for
bringing Spaceship Earth in for a safe landing.

Jim Gettys and I saw the oncoming headlights of the embedded IoT
disaster many years ago[4], and have been working to fix it ever
since.
