======Announcing the new TAB======

On Thursday, Sept. 4th we held our first meeting since the TAB elections at Kernel\\ Summit and LinuxCon last month. As is our custom, this meeting\\ included both incoming and outgoing members.\\ \\ First of all, I want to say a big thank you to our outgoing members,\\ James Bottomley, Jesse Barnes and Ric Wheeler, who have all served\\ faithfully and done a great job representing our community. I\\ especially want to thank James who has served as the TAB chair since\\ its inception and has tirelessly championed Linux and Open Source\\ developers.\\ \\ Stepping into the TAB are three newly elected members, Kristen\\ Accardi, H. Peter Anvin, and me, Grant Likely. Both Kristen and Peter\\ are well known and respected members of our community, and I'm looking\\ forward to working with them. This is Peter's first term on the TAB,\\ while Kristen and I have both served previously.\\ \\ Each year the TAB elects a chair to coordinate our meetings and\\ represent the TAB on the Linux Foundation Board of Directors. Since\\ the chair was held by one of our outgoing members, our first order of\\ business yesterday was to elect a new chair. I'm honoured to announce\\ that the TAB selected me to fill the position and I'll work hard to\\ live up to their expectations.\\ \\ The members of the TAB are now:\\ Chair: Grant Likely\\ Vice-chair: Jonathan Corbet\\ Kristen Accardi\\ H. Peter Anvin\\ Matthew Garrett\\ Thomas Gleixner\\ Greg Kroah-Hartman\\ John Linville\\ Chris Mason\\ Sarah Sharp
