10 The annual Maintainer and Kernel Summits will be held in
11 Vancouver, BC on November 12 to 15, in conjunction with the
12 Linux Plumbers Conference. The program committee is looking
13 for topics for both summits; read on for details on how to
14 submit ideas and, perhaps, get an invitation to the Maintainer

48 This year, the Maintainer and Kernel Summit will be in
51 B.C., November 12th -- 15th. The Maintainer's summit will be
54 Monday, November 12th, in Vancouver, immediately before the
57 Plumber's Conference (LPC) November 13th -- 15th.
59 For the past few years, before 2017, we've scheduled mostly
62 and development process issues on the first day. We then
65 the second day of the Kernel Summit to all attendees of the
68 with which the Kernel Summit has been colocated, and called it
71 "Open Technical Day". This is something that just made sense
74 to assure that all of the necessary people needed to discuss a
76 particular technical issue could be in the room.
78 Starting last year in Prague, we took the next logical step,
81 the Kernel Summit in two. The "Maintainer's Summit" is an
83 invite-only, half-day event, where the primary focus will be
86 issues of Linux Kernel Development. It will be limited to 30
89 and a handful of sponsored attendees. This makes it smaller
92 first few kernel summits (which were limited to around 50
95 The "Kernel Summit" is now organized as a track which is run in
97 parallel with the other tracks at the Linux Plumber's
100 is open to all registered attendees of Plumbers. Much as how we
102 organized the Kernel Summit "open technical day" in 2016 in
105 the Kernel Summit schedule will be synchronized with the other
108 at the Plumber's Conference, and it will be open to all
113 Linus has suggested the following ten people as the core of
116 he would like invited to the Maintainer's Summit, which was
119 from statistics from his git tree.

141 As we did last year, there will be a mini-program committee
144 be pick enough names to bring the total number of 30 for the
146 Maintainer's Summit. That program committee will consist of
149 Bergmann, Thomas Gleixner, Greg KH, Paul McKenney, and Ted
152 We will use the rest of names on the list generated by Linus's
155 as a starting point of people to be considered. People who
158 topics that should be discussed on the Maintainer's summit
161 be added to the list. To make topic suggestions for the
164 Summit, please send e-mail to the ksummit-discuss list with a
167 prefix of [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT].
169 The other job of the program committee will be to organize the
172 for the Kernel Summit. The goal of the Kernel Summit track
175 provide a forum to discuss specific technical issues that
178 easier to resolve in person than over e-mail. The program
181 will also consider "information sharing" topics if they are
184 interest to the wider development community (i.e., advanced
187 in topics that would be useful to kernel developers).
189 To suggest a topic for the Kernel Summit, please tag your
192 [TECH TOPIC]. As before, please use a separate e-mail for each
195 and send the topic suggestions to:
197 ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org
199 People who submit topic suggestions before September 21st and
202 are accepted, will be given a free admission to the Linux
207 We will reserving roughly half the Kernel Summit slots for
210 discussions that will be scheduled during the week of
213 "unconference style". This was extremely popular in Santa Fe
216 Prague, since it allowed ideas that came up in hallway
219 and in Plumber's Miniconference, to be given scheduled,
222 times for that discussion.
