1 Hello Mike,
2
3 sound reasonable to me and I self-nominate myself.

5 My manifesto:
6
7 My aim is to make the Gentoo Kernel Project became more present (with
8 a visible and strong activity), collaborate more with upstream and
9 taking Gentoo kernel to a more high-quality level.
10 We can achieve better quality in the Gentoo kernel by automating the
11 Gentoo kernel release quality check.
12 For automating the release quality check I'm working on the Gentoo
13 kernel CI [1], that is providing feedback on the Gentoo Kernel
14 Sources, for making it fastly showing eventual problems.
15 In the future, I would like to add more feature and check tools to the
16 Gentoo Kernel CI.
17 I'm following most of the Gentoo Kernel bugs reports on bugzilla for
18 giving fast support and I usually work on releasing gentoo-sources in
19 a responsive manner. I'm also helping with rt-sources, git-sources,
20 vanilla-sources and every other package under the Gentoo kernel
21 project responsibility.
22 To make the Gentoo kernel project more visible I'm doing conferences
23 (Open Source Summit 2017 (kernel developer panel), SOSP 2017, Open
24 Source Conference winter and spring 2017) and managing the Gentoo
25 Kernel Public relationships.
26 I'm keeping a strong collaboration with Kernel upstream, getting
27 information about new releases, future problems and also informing
28 kernel upstream of eventual problems with the gentoo-sources kernel.
29 I'm pre-testing upstream kernel pre-release for identifying problems
30 before we release gentoo-sources.
31 I'm creating and updating wiki pages under the Gentoo kernel project.
32 I'm working on the Gentoo kernel live patch service (Elivepatch [2])
33 and live patch package (kpatch).
34 I'm part of the Gentoo Kernel Security, where I'm researching new
35 security issue, this helps me leading security responses for the
36 Gentoo Kernel Project.
