Not yet, I was still hoping Andrew Hutton would get back to me with the
actual final proceedings.  (Presumably they had a final file at some
point go to the printer.)

According to the CFP, OLS papers are freely redistributable:

  http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2010/cfp.php

  "Authors retain copyright to all submitted papers, but have granted
  unlimited redistribution rights to all as a condition of submission."

So mirroring them on kernel.org doesn't require additional permission.
But that's assuming they're sourced from OLS.  Sourcing the papers from
somewhere else, I'm not sure it's the same version covered by the same
license, so it's more work for me to confirm that stuff instead of
relying on a blanket license from a single source.

Yes please.

Thanks,
