I got a request for people to hold it on Wednesday so that people
didn't have to fly out early before LSF, which I'm sure is the same
reason why you're having the track on I/O and filesystems on
Wednesday.  :-)

I did look at the schedule, and I deliberately scheduled things so we
would end before the panel at the end of the day, since I assumed
people would want to listen to that.

As for the rest of the day, I had taken a quick look at the schedule
for Collab Summit, and I didn't see any obvious conflicts; I had
assumed the NVM talk would be another "phase change memory (or some
other resistive memory) that has the random write speed of DRAM, the
random read speeed of Flash, the cost per megabyte of HDD's, and the
with infinite write endurance is coming around the corner, and will
only be two years out so we should start redesigning and rewriting the
kernel and file systems now" --- i.e., the same thing we've been
hearing for the past decade, if not longer.  :-)

But if people need to speak at some of these slots, or are very much
interested in attending we can certainly talk about trying to move
things around to accomodate people's schedule and desire to attend
Collab Summit talks.

What do people think?
