I've added the Performance and Scalability MC runners to this thread.

After taking a closer look at the proposal submitted to the
Performance MC:

   https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/11/abstracts/1042/

... I noted that (a) the proposal wasn't about scalability in the
traditional sense (e.g., how well does the kernel work on CPU's with
192 cores) but rather scalability of the development process, and (b)
the talk was only scheduled for 20 minutes.

So I talked to Alex off-line, and we agreed that best approach was
probably to transfer his session transferred to the kernel summit
track, where he would be able to get a 45 minute slot --- assuming, of
course, that the Performance MC runners would be OK with this change.

If people would like to talk more than what can fit in a 45 minute
slot, there will be BOF session slots on Friday that people can
request for more conversation.  There will also be "hack rooms" that
are available, which will not be live-streamed nor permanently
recorded.

Dave, Daniel, Pasha --- does this seem reasonable to you?

Thanks,
