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

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