We are pleased to announce the composition of the new KernelCI Technical Steering Committee (TSC). The TSC plays a vital role in guiding the technical direction of the KernelCI project, ensuring its continued growth and effectiveness in supporting the Linux kernel community.
New TSC Composition
Following our annual election process and in accordance with our project charter, the TSC is now composed of the following members:
- Ben Copeland, Linaro (TSC-voted member) – TSC Chair
- Denys Fedoryshchenko, Collabora (Infrastructure Committee Lead – appointed position)
- Greg KH, Linux Foundation (Community-elected)
- Gustavo Padovan, Collabora (Community-elected)
- Mark Brown, Arm (Community-elected)

The current term for community-elected and TSC-voted members runs until October 31, 2026. As specified in our charter, the Infrastructure Committee Lead position is appointed and follows different term rules. Ben Copeland will serve as the TSC Chair.
About the TSC
The Technical Steering Committee is responsible for:
- Making important technical decisions about the project’s direction
- Discussing the general roadmap and design principles
- Ensuring cohesion across the project
- Participating in votes on critical matters
- Contributing to the project through code, reviews, documentation, and community engagement
We maintain a policy that no more than two members from the same organization may serve on the TSC simultaneously, ensuring diverse representation across the community.
Looking Ahead
This diverse group brings together expertise from across the kernel testing ecosystem, representing major hardware vendors, infrastructure specialists, and kernel maintainers. Their combined experience will be invaluable as KernelCI continues to evolve its infrastructure and expand testing coverage.
The TSC meets bi-weekly to discuss current topics and make decisions. These meetings are an important part of how we coordinate the technical aspects of the project and ensure we’re meeting the needs of the Linux kernel community. The meetings are open and listed on our calendar.
We thank all TSC members for their service and commitment to improving kernel quality and stability through comprehensive testing.
