Hi,

I would like to nominate myself for the Linux Foundation Technical
Advisory Board.

I maintain Rust for Linux. It requires collaborating with many other
areas in the kernel, as well as helping bridge the gap between
maintainers, other maintainers, new contributors to the kernel,
companies, etc. It also involves coordinating the interaction with
other projects, such as the Rust project, GCC Rust, bindgen, etc. In
addition, I organize Kangrejos (the Rust for Linux conference) and the
LPC Rust MC.

I don=E2=80=99t work for any particular company. This means I don=E2=80=99t=
 have
direct insight on the internals of any corporation, although it allows
me to remain hopefully independent.

I am relatively young and inexperienced compared to the average TAB
member. However, that may allow me to provide a different perspective
on topics.

In particular, I like to get new people into the kernel and to guide
talented young contributors into the kernel, so that hopefully the
kernel gets new maintainers eventually. I also try to be open to new
ideas for the kernel.

Thank you for your consideration and support.

Cheers,
Miguel
