Dear in-toto community.
It's my pleasure to announce that we've successfully concluded the first
election to form the in-toto steering committee (ITSC)! I am incredibly humbled
to see the amount of participation --- 80 votes --- from all the community. We
had an incredibly varied group of candidates, and, while I'm sure every single
candidate would've done a great job at the helm, the community has chosen the
following people to form the ITSC:
1. Santiago Torres-Arias, Academia, Purdue University
2. Justin Cappos, Academia, New York University
3. Jack Kelly, Industry, ControlPlane
4. Cole Kennedy, Industry, TestifySec
5. Aditya Saky, Academia, New York University
6. Trishank Karthik Kuppusamy, Industry, Datadog
Of these 6, Aditya has decided to decline and focus on the technical aspects of
the Attestation framework as well as ITEs 9 to 11 instead. I believe that,
regardless of Aditya's decision, it's heartwarming witness the support the
community showed his tireless efforts in keeping the community going as
smoothly as it is.
Further, in terms of composition, I'm happy to see that the community organically
elected an good spread between academia and industry. It's great to see that
the community agrees that this representation is important.
To keep things very explicit, this is the new ITSC:
Santiago Torres-Arias, Academia, Purdue University
Justin Cappos, Academia, New York University
Jack Kelly, Industry, ControlPlane
Cole Kennedy, Industry, TestifySec
Trishank Karthik Kuppusamy, Industry, Datadog
While this election is over now, I'll be following up with the specifics to the
people above to kickstart activities.
Cheers!
-Santiago
