Hi, I would like to submit my first self-nomination for the TAB. Some of you might know me from my work on core-MM. My journey in the Linux kernel began quite a while ago when working on virtualization, with a focus on KVM, s390x and memory management (virtio-balloon, virtio-mem). Over the years, I worked with and learned from many great minds in various subsystems: I began as a contributor, moved on to become an active reviewer and nowadays (co)maintain several pieces of the Linux kernel. In my spare time I even did some academic research in the MM field. Now, I would like to spend some of my time and energy on improving the Linux kernel community. I am running for the TAB because I deeply care about people: I want to ensure that the Linux community remains a welcoming place for new talent, where we focus on people (not tools) and can properly deal with unacceptable behavior, while simultaneously addressing the critical problem of maintainer overload that I experience myself far too often. -- Cheers David
