118[ Feel free to forward this to other Linux kernel mailing lists as
119 appropriate -- Ted ]

121This year, the Maintainer and Kernel Summit will be in Vancouver,
122B.C., November 12th -- 15th. The Maintainer's summit will be held on
123Monday, November 12th, in Vancouver, immediately before the Linux
124Plumber's Conference (LPC) November 13th -- 15th.
125
126For the past few years, before 2017, we've scheduled mostly management
127and development process issues on the first day. We then opened up
128the second day of the Kernel Summit to all attendees of the conference
129with which the Kernel Summit has been colocated, and called it the
130"Open Technical Day". This is something that just made sense in order
131to assure that all of the necessary people needed to discuss a
132particular technical issue could be in the room.
133
134Starting last year in Prague, we took the next logical step, and split
135the Kernel Summit in two. The "Maintainer's Summit" is an
136invite-only, half-day event, where the primary focus will be process
137issues of Linux Kernel Development. It will be limited to 30 invitees
138and a handful of sponsored attendees. This makes it smaller than the
139first few kernel summits (which were limited to around 50 attendees).
140
141The "Kernel Summit" is now organized as a track which is run in
142parallel with the other tracks at the Linux Plumber's Conference, and
143is open to all registered attendees of Plumbers. Much as how we
144organized the Kernel Summit "open technical day" in 2016 in Santa Fe,
145the Kernel Summit schedule will be synchronized with the other tracks
146at the Plumber's Conference, and it will be open to all registered
147Plumber's attendees.
148
149Linus has suggested the following ten people as the core of the people
150he would like invited to the Maintainer's Summit, which was calculated
151from 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
164As we did last year, there will be a mini-program committee that will
165be pick enough names to bring the total number of 30 for the
166Maintainer's Summit. That program committee will consist of Arnd
167Bergmann, Thomas Gleixner, Greg KH, Paul McKenney, and Ted Ts'o.
168
169We will use the rest of names on the list generated by Linus's script
170as a starting point of people to be considered. People who suggest
171topics that should be discussed on the Maintainer's summit will also
172be added to the list. To make topic suggestions for the Maintainer's
173Summit, please send e-mail to the ksummit-discuss list with a subject
174prefix of [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT].
175
176
177The other job of the program committee will be to organize the program
178for the Kernel Summit. The goal of the Kernel Summit track will be to
179provide a forum to discuss specific technical issues that would be
180easier to resolve in person than over e-mail. The program committee
181will also consider "information sharing" topics if they are clearly of
182interest to the wider development community (i.e., advanced training
183in topics that would be useful to kernel developers).
184
185To 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,
187and send the topic suggestions to:
188
189 ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org
190
191People who submit topic suggestions before September 21st and which
192are accepted, will be given a free admission to the Linux Plumbers
193Conference.
194
195We will reserving roughly half the Kernel Summit slots for last-minute
196discussions that will be scheduled during the week of Plumber's, in an
197"unconference style". This was extremely popular in Santa Fe and in
198Prague, since it allowed ideas that came up in hallway discussions,
199and in Plumber's Miniconference, to be given scheduled, dedicated
200times for that discussion.

204last year (or if you had removed yourself after the kernel summit),
