TAB Self Nomination

As a contributor to Linux since 2011. I started contributing to audio and
display drivers. Now my contributions include improvements for x86 and
the scheduler. I also maintained a mini-distro based on Yocto. I have
attended and spoken at various LF events. I would like to become more
involved in the community and the TAB looks like a good vehicle.

While I perceive that the code of conduct has significantly improved
the interactions among members of the community, I think that it is
still challenging and intimidating for new people to become involved.
Contributions such Tested-by tags can go a long way these days as
hardware has become more diverse and hard to get. Yet, those
contributions are not perceived as valuable as writing code.

If elected, I’d like to work on making the community a more welcoming
place for new people of diverse backgrounds. I believe that having a
TAB that is diverse will inspire and motivate people to get involved.

Thank you for your consideration.
