  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
  15     Summit.

  48     This  year,  the  Maintainer  and  Kernel  Summit  will  be  in
  49     Vancouver,
  50
  51     B.C.,  November  12th  -- 15th. The Maintainer's summit will be
  52     held on
  53
  54     Monday,  November  12th,  in  Vancouver, immediately before the
  55     Linux
  56
  57     Plumber's Conference (LPC) November 13th -- 15th.
  58
  59     For  the  past  few  years, before 2017, we've scheduled mostly
  60     management
  61
  62     and  development  process  issues  on  the  first  day. We then
  63     opened up
  64
  65     the  second  day  of  the Kernel Summit to all attendees of the
  66     conference
  67
  68     with  which the Kernel Summit has been colocated, and called it
  69     the
  70
  71     "Open  Technical  Day".  This is something that just made sense
  72     in order
  73
  74     to assure that all of the necessary people needed to discuss a
  75
  76     particular technical issue could be in the room.
  77
  78     Starting  last  year  in Prague, we took the next logical step,
  79     and split
  80
  81     the Kernel Summit in two. The "Maintainer's Summit" is an
  82
  83     invite-only,  half-day  event,  where the primary focus will be
  84     process
  85
  86     issues  of  Linux  Kernel Development. It will be limited to 30
  87     invitees
  88
  89     and  a  handful  of  sponsored attendees. This makes it smaller
  90     than the
  91
  92     first  few  kernel  summits  (which  were  limited to around 50
  93     attendees).
  94
  95     The "Kernel Summit" is now organized as a track which is run in
  96
  97     parallel   with   the  other  tracks  at  the  Linux  Plumber's
  98     Conference, and
  99
 100     is open to all registered attendees of Plumbers. Much as how we
 101
 102     organized  the  Kernel  Summit  "open technical day" in 2016 in
 103     Santa Fe,
 104
 105     the  Kernel Summit schedule will be synchronized with the other
 106     tracks
 107
 108     at  the  Plumber's  Conference,  and  it  will  be  open to all
 109     registered
 110
 111     Plumber's attendees.
 112
 113     Linus  has  suggested  the  following ten people as the core of
 114     the people
 115
 116     he  would  like  invited  to the Maintainer's Summit, which was
 117     calculated
 118
 119     from statistics from his git tree.

 141     As  we  did  last  year, there will be a mini-program committee
 142     that will
 143
 144     be pick enough names to bring the total number of 30 for the
 145
 146     Maintainer's  Summit.  That  program  committee will consist of
 147     Arnd
 148
 149     Bergmann,  Thomas  Gleixner,  Greg  KH,  Paul McKenney, and Ted
 150     Ts'o.
 151
 152     We  will use the rest of names on the list generated by Linus's
 153     script
 154
 155     as  a  starting  point  of  people to be considered. People who
 156     suggest
 157
 158     topics  that  should  be  discussed  on the Maintainer's summit
 159     will also
 160
 161     be  added  to  the  list.  To  make  topic  suggestions for the
 162     Maintainer's
 163
 164     Summit,  please  send e-mail to the ksummit-discuss list with a
 165     subject
 166
 167     prefix of [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT].
 168
 169     The  other job of the program committee will be to organize the
 170     program
 171
 172     for  the  Kernel  Summit.  The  goal of the Kernel Summit track
 173     will be to
 174
 175     provide  a  forum  to  discuss  specific  technical issues that
 176     would be
 177
 178     easier  to  resolve  in  person  than  over e-mail. The program
 179     committee
 180
 181     will  also  consider  "information  sharing" topics if they are
 182     clearly of
 183
 184     interest  to  the  wider  development community (i.e., advanced
 185     training
 186
 187     in topics that would be useful to kernel developers).
 188
 189     To  suggest  a  topic  for  the  Kernel Summit, please tag your
 190     e-mail with
 191
 192     [TECH  TOPIC]. As before, please use a separate e-mail for each
 193     topic,
 194
 195     and send the topic suggestions to:
 196
 197     ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org
 198
 199     People  who  submit topic suggestions before September 21st and
 200     which
 201
 202     are  accepted,  will  be  given  a  free admission to the Linux
 203     Plumbers
 204
 205     Conference.
 206
 207     We  will  reserving  roughly  half  the Kernel Summit slots for
 208     last-minute
 209
 210     discussions   that   will  be  scheduled  during  the  week  of
 211     Plumber's, in an
 212
 213     "unconference  style".  This  was extremely popular in Santa Fe
 214     and in
 215
 216     Prague,  since  it  allowed  ideas  that  came  up  in  hallway
 217     discussions,
 218
 219     and   in  Plumber's  Miniconference,  to  be  given  scheduled,
 220     dedicated
 221
 222     times for that discussion.
