Hello,
I'd like to nominate myself for the upcoming TAB election.
My statement is as follows:
My first tinkering with Linux was with SLS back in the dark ages, but
I took a long detour before I started working full time on the kernel
in 2003, and have been at it since. My path has taken me through a
number of employers, the larger of which have been IBM, Apple, Google
and currently Tesla. I've been co-maintainer of the arm-soc effort for
5 years and counting, during which we've driven the transition from
total chaos to something that's humming along very smoothly.
I've had the opportunity to work closely with a number of ARM vendors
to get them engaged in upstream development, in particular through my
work as technical lead of the Chrome OS kernel. I'm closely familiar
with the challenges and benefits that vendors see when they go through
this process, and how to make the best out of them. My proudest
achievements are also in this area, where we've seen vendors such as
Nvidia, Rockchip and Mediatek really step up and participate a lot
more.
If elected as a member of the TAB I will bring the embedded
perspective to the table, and continue bridging what can sometimes be
quite a gap between the upstream community and the embedded/mobile
vendors.
Thanks,
-Olof
