Re: [gentoo-kernel] Gentoo Kernel Project Lead - 2018

[Alice Ferrazzi]

Hello Mike,

sound reasonable to me and I self-nominate myself.

My manifesto:

My aim is to make the Gentoo Kernel Project became more present (with a
visible and strong activity), collaborate more with upstream and taking
Gentoo kernel to a more high-quality level.
We can achieve better quality in the Gentoo kernel by automating the Gentoo
kernel release quality check.
For automating the release quality check I'm working on the Gentoo kernel
CI [1], that is providing feedback on the Gentoo Kernel Sources, for making
it fastly showing eventual problems.
In the future, I would like to add more feature and check tools to the
Gentoo Kernel CI.
I'm following most of the Gentoo Kernel bugs reports on bugzilla for giving
fast support and I usually work on releasing gentoo-sources in a responsive
manner. I'm also helping with rt-sources, git-sources, vanilla-sources and
every other package under the Gentoo kernel project responsibility.
To make the Gentoo kernel project more visible I'm doing conferences (Open
Source Summit 2017 (kernel developer panel), SOSP 2017, Open Source
Conference winter and spring 2017) and managing the Gentoo Kernel Public
relationships.
I'm keeping a strong collaboration with Kernel upstream, getting
information about new releases, future problems and also informing kernel
upstream of eventual problems with the gentoo-sources kernel.
I'm pre-testing upstream kernel pre-release for identifying problems before
we release gentoo-sources.
I'm creating and updating wiki pages under the Gentoo kernel project.
I'm working on the Gentoo kernel live patch service (Elivepatch [2]) and
live patch package (kpatch).
I'm part of the Gentoo Kernel Security, where I'm researching new security
issue, this helps me leading security responses for the Gentoo Kernel
Project.
