The Kernel Summit will be held as a track during the Linux Plumbers Conference September 9th -- 11th. The Maintainer's Summit will be held afterwards, on September 12th. As in previous years, the "Maintainer's Summit" is an invite-only, half-day event, where the primary focus will be process issues around Linux Kernel Development. It will be limited to 30 invitees and a handful of sponsored attendees. This makes it smaller than the first few kernel summits (which were limited to around 50 attendees). The "Kernel Summit" is organized as a track which is run in parallel with the other tracks at the Linux Plumber's Conference (LPC), and is open to all registered attendees of LPC. Linus has a generated a list of 18 people to use as a core list. The program committee will pick at least ten people from that list, and then use the rest of Linus's list as a starting point of people to be considered. People who suggest topics that should be discussed on the Maintainer's summit will also be added to the list for consideration. To make topic suggestions for the Maintainer's Summit, please send e-mail to the ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org list with a subject prefix of [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT]. The other job of the program committee will be to organize the program for the Kernel Summit. The goal of the Kernel Summit track will be to provide a forum to discuss specific technical issues that would be easier to resolve in person than over e-mail. The program committee will also consider "information sharing" topics if they are clearly of interest to the wider development community (i.e., advanced training in topics that would be useful to kernel developers). To suggest a topic for the Kernel Summit, please do two things. First, please tag your e-mail with [TECH TOPIC]. As before, please use a separate e-mail for each topic, and send the topic suggestions to the ksummit-discuss list. Secondly, please create a topic at the Linux Plumbers Conference proposal submission site and target it to the Kernel Summit track. For your convenience you can use: http://bit.ly/lpc19-submit Please do both steps. I'll try to notice if someone forgets one or the other, but your chances of making your proposal gets the necessary attention and consideration by submiting both to the mailing list and the web site. People who submit topic suggestions before May 31st and which are accepted, will be given a free admission to the Linux Plumbers Conference. We will reserving roughly half of the Kernel Summit slots for last-minute discussions that will be scheduled during the week of Plumber's, in an "unconference style". This allows ideas that come up in hallway discussions, and in the LPC miniconferences, to be given scheduled, dedicated times for discussion. If you were not subscribed on to the kernel-discuss mailing list from last year (or if you had removed yourself after the kernel summit), you can subscribe to the discuss list using mailman: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/ksummit-discuss The program committee this year is composed of the following people: Greg Kroah-Hartman Jens Axboe Jon Corbet Ted Ts'o Thomas Gleixner
