Hi Shaun, question about this ..
Eventually I do plan to put my hat in the ring, but possibly not this time around - I'll most likely wait for someone from RH to retire. How many Red Hatters are currently on the board, and should we replace Tru with a RH person? I realize it isn't a requirement to be (or not to be) from RH, but I think the board will be healthier if there are more non-RH people there, and since Tru is not RH it would make more sense for someone else to take the opportunity.
It is important to note that the requirement that a certain number (or percentage) of Directors be Red Hat associates was removed in 2021. Directors should be nominated and selected based on their value to the community, not based on their employer.
Thank you for repeating this Rich. I'll repost what I wrote earlier too:
Speaking in my role as the Red Hat Liaison to the CentOS Project, Red Hat enjoys seeing non-Red Hatters active in this project. We hope that many will be nominated.
This statement should not be interpreted to mean that a Red Hatter should not be nominated. As pointed out above and as we talk about in our open source guidelines[1] Red Hatters on the board, other than me, are expected to act as individuals.
