118 | [ Feel free to forward this to other Linux kernel mailing lists as | |
119 | appropriate -- Ted ] | |
120 | ||
121 | This year, the Maintainer and Kernel Summit will be in Vancouver, | |
122 | B.C., November 12th -- 15th. The Maintainer's summit will be held on | |
123 | Monday, November 12th, in Vancouver, immediately before the Linux | |
124 | Plumber's Conference (LPC) November 13th -- 15th. | |
125 | ||
126 | For the past few years, before 2017, we've scheduled mostly management | |
127 | and development process issues on the first day. We then opened up | |
128 | the second day of the Kernel Summit to all attendees of the conference | |
129 | with which the Kernel Summit has been colocated, and called it the | |
130 | "Open Technical Day". This is something that just made sense in order | |
131 | to assure that all of the necessary people needed to discuss a | |
132 | particular technical issue could be in the room. | |
133 | ||
134 | Starting last year in Prague, we took the next logical step, and split | |
135 | the Kernel Summit in two. The "Maintainer's Summit" is an | |
136 | invite-only, half-day event, where the primary focus will be process | |
137 | issues of Linux Kernel Development. It will be limited to 30 invitees | |
138 | and a handful of sponsored attendees. This makes it smaller than the | |
139 | first few kernel summits (which were limited to around 50 attendees). | |
140 | ||
141 | The "Kernel Summit" is now organized as a track which is run in | |
142 | parallel with the other tracks at the Linux Plumber's Conference, and | |
143 | is open to all registered attendees of Plumbers. Much as how we | |
144 | organized the Kernel Summit "open technical day" in 2016 in Santa Fe, | |
145 | the Kernel Summit schedule will be synchronized with the other tracks | |
146 | at the Plumber's Conference, and it will be open to all registered | |
147 | Plumber's attendees. | |
148 | ||
149 | Linus has suggested the following ten people as the core of the people | |
150 | he would like invited to the Maintainer's Summit, which was calculated | |
151 | from statistics from his git tree. | |
152 | ||
153 | David Miller | |
154 | Dave Airlie | |
155 | Greg KH | |
156 | Arnd Bergmann | |
157 | Ingo Molnar | |
158 | Mauro Carvalho Chehab | |
159 | Takashi Iwai | |
160 | Thomas Gleixner | |
161 | Andrew Morton | |
162 | Olof Johansson | |
163 | ||
164 | As we did last year, there will be a mini-program committee that will | |
165 | be pick enough names to bring the total number of 30 for the | |
166 | Maintainer's Summit. That program committee will consist of Arnd | |
167 | Bergmann, Thomas Gleixner, Greg KH, Paul McKenney, and Ted Ts'o. | |
168 | ||
169 | We will use the rest of names on the list generated by Linus's script | |
170 | as a starting point of people to be considered. People who suggest | |
171 | topics that should be discussed on the Maintainer's summit will also | |
172 | be added to the list. To make topic suggestions for the Maintainer's | |
173 | Summit, please send e-mail to the ksummit-discuss list with a subject | |
174 | prefix of [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT]. | |
175 | ||
176 | ||
177 | The other job of the program committee will be to organize the program | |
178 | for the Kernel Summit. The goal of the Kernel Summit track will be to | |
179 | provide a forum to discuss specific technical issues that would be | |
180 | easier to resolve in person than over e-mail. The program committee | |
181 | will also consider "information sharing" topics if they are clearly of | |
182 | interest to the wider development community (i.e., advanced training | |
183 | in topics that would be useful to kernel developers). | |
184 | ||
185 | To suggest a topic for the Kernel Summit, please tag your e-mail with | |
186 | [TECH TOPIC]. As before, please use a separate e-mail for each topic, | |
187 | and send the topic suggestions to: | |
188 | ||
189 | ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org | |
190 | ||
191 | People who submit topic suggestions before September 21st and which | |
192 | are accepted, will be given a free admission to the Linux Plumbers | |
193 | Conference. | |
194 | ||
195 | We will reserving roughly half the Kernel Summit slots for last-minute | |
196 | discussions that will be scheduled during the week of Plumber's, in an | |
197 | "unconference style". This was extremely popular in Santa Fe and in | |
198 | Prague, since it allowed ideas that came up in hallway discussions, | |
199 | and in Plumber's Miniconference, to be given scheduled, dedicated | |
200 | times for that discussion. | |
201 | ||
202 | ||
203 | If you were not subscribed on to the kernel-discuss mailing list from | |
204 | last year (or if you had removed yourself after the kernel summit), | |
205 | you can subscribe to the discuss list using mailman: | |
