| Re: [sdv-wg] [External] Fwd: Software Defined Vehicle 2026 Elections |
I'm self-nominating as Committer Member for the Technical Advisory Committee.
Been good working with you all these past ~11 months or so.
Would be happy to continue ☺️
_______________________________________________Dear SDV WG,
I would like to nominate myself for the steering committee again as participant member.
To support our mission to onboard new members in our industry I spoke on several events
like VECS Gothenburg, RISC-V Summit IAA, our SDV WG events in Detroit and Korea, ELIV and several other occasions to
advocate open source at the SDV WG in automotive.
In the X-Core platform council, I am working on marketing and branding on items like messaging & positioning for S-Core and recently as well on website improvements as well as I provided several inputs to our 2026 program plan.
For upcoming events like plugfest Esslingen, or upcoming community days I am doing my part to provide our community opportunities to meet and reach out.
Looking forward to another year working for our SDV community in this role and thanking you for your trust so far!
Best regards,
Tom

Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) initiative is currently seeking nominations to fill elected positions on three governing bodies; the Steering Committee, Technical Advisory Committee and Marketing/Brand Committee. These committees play a crucial role in the strategy and direction of the Software Defined Vehicle Initiative:
- Two seats at the Participant Member level
- One seat at the Committer Member level
Nomination Eligibility
Participant Members: All individuals who are employed by an organisation that is a Participant member of the SDV may stand for election. The current Participant Members of the SDV can be viewed here.
Committer Members: Committer Members are those who are engaged in projects under the purview of SDV. Committers may be considered members by virtue of either a) being employed by an SDV corporate member, or b) an individual committer who has executed the Eclipse Foundation Membership Agreement in order to attain the rights, privileges and obligations of a Committer Member. If you are interested but unsure if you are a committer member, please reach out to us and/or learn more here.
A reminder that Strategic Members each have a representative appointed to these committees and thus Strategic member organisations do not participate in this election.
