Here it is: =3D=3D Topic =3D=3D Namespaces, containers, cgroups, and container checkpoint/restart. =3D=3D Description =3D=3D Development for namespaces and cgroups is well underway in the mainline kernel. To keep momentum going and keep the loosely knit teams of developers well-coordinated, a physical meeting in which to discuss future development plans is needed. Additionally, we are at a point where crucial decisions about the nature of a "container object" and about the checkpoint/restart design need to be made. A final set of topics will be decided upon through mailing lists ahead of time, but potential topics include: * Handling filesystem/namespace synchronization * Handling of /proc and /sysfs within containers * Additional needed namespaces (i.e. device namespace) * Nature of a 'container' =E2=80=94 kernel object or userspace fiction * Additional cgroups and their design * How to initiate and synchronize checkpoint/restart * How to enter a 'container' ? =3D=3D Moderators =3D=3D {{Out|These are just suggestions, please edit here or let us know if you=20 do or do not want to moderate.}} * Namespaces/containers: Serge Hallyn, Cedric Le Goater * cgroups: Paul Menage * Checkpoint/restart: Dave Hansen, Cedric Le Goater =3D=3D Expected Time Required =3D=3D One day. =3D=3D Number of Attendees =3D=3D Approximately 30. =3D=3D Technical Requirements =3D=3D * Projector and screen * Whiteboard * Network access * Power for laptops * doughnuts and croissants for participants
