-[ Feel free to forward this to other Linux kernel mailing lists as
- appropriate -- Ted ]
-
-This year, the Maintainer and Kernel Summit will be in Vancouver,
-B.C., November 12th -- 15th. The Maintainer's summit will be held on
-Monday, November 12th, in Vancouver, immediately before the Linux
-Plumber's Conference (LPC) November 13th -- 15th.
-
-For the past few years, before 2017, we've scheduled mostly management
-and development process issues on the first day. We then opened up
-the second day of the Kernel Summit to all attendees of the conference
-with which the Kernel Summit has been colocated, and called it the
-"Open Technical Day". This is something that just made sense in order
-to assure that all of the necessary people needed to discuss a
-particular technical issue could be in the room.
-
-Starting last year in Prague, we took the next logical step, and split
-the Kernel Summit in two. The "Maintainer's Summit" is an
-invite-only, half-day event, where the primary focus will be process
-issues of Linux Kernel Development. It will be limited to 30 invitees
-and a handful of sponsored attendees. This makes it smaller than the
-first few kernel summits (which were limited to around 50 attendees).
-
-The "Kernel Summit" is now organized as a track which is run in
-parallel with the other tracks at the Linux Plumber's Conference, and
-is open to all registered attendees of Plumbers. Much as how we
-organized the Kernel Summit "open technical day" in 2016 in Santa Fe,
-the Kernel Summit schedule will be synchronized with the other tracks
-at the Plumber's Conference, and it will be open to all registered
-Plumber's attendees.
-
-Linus has suggested the following ten people as the core of the people
-he would like invited to the Maintainer's Summit, which was calculated
-from statistics from his git tree.
-
- David Miller
- Dave Airlie
- Greg KH
- Arnd Bergmann
- Ingo Molnar
- Mauro Carvalho Chehab
- Takashi Iwai
- Thomas Gleixner
- Andrew Morton
- Olof Johansson
-
-As we did last year, there will be a mini-program committee that will
-be pick enough names to bring the total number of 30 for the
-Maintainer's Summit. That program committee will consist of Arnd
-Bergmann, Thomas Gleixner, Greg KH, Paul McKenney, and Ted Ts'o.
-
-We will use the rest of names on the list generated by Linus's script
-as a starting point of people to be considered. People who suggest
-topics that should be discussed on the Maintainer's summit will also
-be added to the list. To make topic suggestions for the Maintainer's
-Summit, please send e-mail to the ksummit-discuss list with a subject
-prefix of [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT].
-
-
-The other job of the program committee will be to organize the program
-for the Kernel Summit. The goal of the Kernel Summit track will be to
-provide a forum to discuss specific technical issues that would be
-easier to resolve in person than over e-mail. The program committee
-will also consider "information sharing" topics if they are clearly of
-interest to the wider development community (i.e., advanced training
-in topics that would be useful to kernel developers).
-
-To suggest a topic for the Kernel Summit, please tag your e-mail with
-[TECH TOPIC]. As before, please use a separate e-mail for each topic,
-and send the topic suggestions to:
-
- ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org
-
-People who submit topic suggestions before September 21st and which
-are accepted, will be given a free admission to the Linux Plumbers
-Conference.
-
-We will reserving roughly half the Kernel Summit slots for last-minute
-discussions that will be scheduled during the week of Plumber's, in an
-"unconference style". This was extremely popular in Santa Fe and in
-Prague, since it allowed ideas that came up in hallway discussions,
-and in Plumber's Miniconference, to be given scheduled, dedicated
-times for that discussion.
-
-
-If you were not subscribed on to the kernel-discuss mailing list from
-last year (or if you had removed yourself after the kernel summit),
-you can subscribe to the discuss list using mailman:
