+[ 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:
