Linux Memory Management Summit 8-9 August

Linux Memory Management Summit 8-9 August

[Nick Piggin]

There has not been a memory management specific event for several years,
so we are going to try an MM summit again this year. While they are
distinct events, we are leveraging the format and logistics of the
successful Linux Storage and Filesystems summit this year. There are
common interests on a technical level as well, so we do have the
possibility for joint sessions.

This year we'll hold the MM summit jointly with the Linux Storage and
Filesystems summit on the two days before LinuxCon in Boston (that's
Sunday and Monday) at the Renaissance Hotel:

http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon

We're planning to hold some sessions jointly and split into three tracks
(Filesystems, Storage and MM) for others, so we're encouraging proposals
for discussion that cover areas relevant to all three groups as well as
more specific technical topics.

Suggestions for agenda topics should be sent to

lsf10-pc@lists.linuxfoundation.org

and optionally cc the Linux list which would be most interested in it:

SCSI: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org
FS: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org (plus relevant fs specific list)
MM: linux-mm@kvack.org

Please tag your subject with [LSF/MM TOPIC] so those of us who're not
very organised can find them easily in our inboxes.  The agenda topics
and attendees will be selected by the programme committee, but the final
agenda will be by formed by consensus of the attendees on the day.

We'll try to cap attendance at around 20 per track to facilitate
discussions although the final numbers will depend on the room sizes
at the venue.

Requests to attend should be sent to:

lsf10-pc@lists.linuxfoundation.org

please summarise what you'll bring to the meeting, and what you'd like
to discuss.  please also tag your email with [ATTEND] so there's less
chance of it getting lost in the large mail pile.

Presentations are allowed to guide discussion, but are strongly
discouraged.  There will be no recording or audio bridge, however
written minutes will be published as in previous years:

If you have feedback on last year's meeting that we can use to improve
this year's, please also send that to:

lsf10-pc@lists.linuxfoundation.org

Thanks,
Nick

I should add some detail about the submission process, seeing as it
is new to us memory management people (including me). The reality is
that with limited places available, our program committee will have
to select which proposals to accept. However I do like the idea of
asking people to think about what they can bring to and take from the
meeting.

You don't have to be developing anything revolutionary, just be
interested in discussing ways to solve a problem, getting feedback
on your ideas, or giving feedback to other people.

Keep in mind that we will have a lot of clever vfs, filesystems, and
storage people nearby so it is a good chance to interact with them.
However topics that don't involve fs or storage are also most welcome.

Thanks,
Nick
