[ANNOUNCEMENT] LPC 2025 sched_ext Microconference CFP

[ANNOUNCEMENT] LPC 2025 sched_ext Microconference CFP

[Andrea Righi]

We are pleased to announce the Call for Proposals (CFP) for the sched_ext
track at the 2025 edition of the Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), taking
place in Tokyo, Japan, from December 11–13, 2025:

 https://lpc.events/event/19/sessions/229/

This microconference provides an opportunity for the community to discuss
upcoming sched_ext development and outline future strategies for improving
integration within the Linux ecosystem.

Topics suggested for discussion include (but are not limited to):
 - Use of BPF arenas for task/CPU context sharing between kernel, BPF, and
   user space
 - Composable schedulers / scheduler libraries
 - Deadline server(s) for the SCHED_EXT class
 - Integration with other scheduling-related features (RCUs, proxy
   execution, PREEMPT_RT, etc.) and other Linux subsystems (e.g., power
   management, Rust-for-Linux, etc.)
 - Workload-optimized schedulers (GPU/AI, gaming, server, ...)
 - Tickless scheduling
 - Tools and benchmarks to analyze and understand scheduler activities

Proposals can be submitted here:

 https://lpc.events/event/19/abstracts/

Note that the primary purpose of a microconference talk is open discussion,
not formal presentations. Slides should be brief and only provide context.
Each 15-30 minute topic is intended to encourage brainstorming and discuss
open issues, not necessarily to resolve them.

For any questions, feel free to contact the microconference leads:
 - Andrea Righi <arighi@nvidia.com>
 - Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@nvidia.com>
 - Daniel Hodges <hodgesd@meta.com>
 - Changwoo Min <changwoo@igalia.com>

We look forward to your proposals!

-Andrea

Just a quick note to add that the deadline for submitting proposals for the
sched_ext microconference is September 30, 2025.

Looking forward to your submissions and a great discussion at LPC!

Best regards,

Hi everyone,

with LPC approaching, I'd like to share a few logistic notes and guidelines
for the microconference.

 - Check the schedule: the final agenda is available here, if your assigned
   slot doesn't work, please let me know and we can try to adjust it:
   https://lpc.events/event/19/sessions/229/#20251212

 - Session length: each slot is 15 minutes (18 minutes in practice, to
   allow smooth speaker transitions).

 - Be concise: aim for 1–2 introductory slides to set the context, then
   dive directly into the core topic.

 - Prioritize interaction: the microconference is discussion-driven, make
   sure to leave enough time for Q&A and audience participation.

 - Expect interruptions: it's perfectly fine (and actually ideal) if you
   don't reach the last slide because questions spark conversation, so make
   sure to put your key points at the beginning of the deck.

 - Share work-in-progress: talks should not present polished or finalized
   work, instead, focus on open issues and opportunities for collaborative
   brainstorming around kernel development.

Looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo next week!
