LSF/MM/BPF is an invitation-only technical workshop to map out improvements to the Linux storage, filesystem, BPF, and memory management subsystems that will make their way into the mainline kernel within the coming years. COVID is at the front of our minds as we attempt to put together the best and safest conference we can arrange. The logistics of how to hold an in person event will change and evolve as we get closer to the actual date, but rest assured we will do everything recommended by public health officials. LSF/MM/BPF 2021 will be a three day, stand-alone conference with four subsystem-specific tracks, cross-track discussions, as well as BoF and hacking sessions. On behalf of the committee I am issuing a call for agenda proposals that are suitable for cross-track discussion as well as technical subjects for the breakout sessions. If advance notice is required for visa applications then please point that out in your proposal or request to attend, and submit the topic as soon as possible. This years instructions are similar to our 2020 attempt. We're asking that you please let us know you want to be invited by June 15th, 2021. We realize that travel is an ever changing target, but it helps us get an idea of possible attendance numbers. Clearly things can and will, so consider the request to attend deadline more about planning and less about concrete plans. 1) Fill out the following Google form to request attendance and suggest any topics https://forms.gle/Dms7xYPXLrriFkcXA In previous years we have accidentally missed people's attendance requests because they either didn't cc lsf-pc@ or we simply missed them in the flurry of emails we get.  Our community is large and our volunteers are busy, filling this out will help us make sure we don't miss anybody. 2) Proposals for agenda topics should still be sent to the following lists to allow for discussion among your peers.  This will help us figure out which topics are important for the agenda.         lsf-pc@lists.linux-foundation.org and CC the mailing lists that are relevant for the topic in question:         FS:     linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org         MM:     linux-mm@kvack.org         Block:  linux-block@vger.kernel.org         ATA:    linux-ide@vger.kernel.org         SCSI:   linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org         NVMe:   linux-nvme@lists.infradead.org         BPF:    bpf@vger.kernel.org Please tag your proposal with [LSF/MM/BPF TOPIC] to make it easier to track. In addition, please make sure to start a new thread for each topic rather than following up to an existing one. Agenda topics and attendees will be selected by the program committee, but the final agenda will be formed by consensus of the attendees on the day. We will try to cap attendance at around 25-30 per track to facilitate discussions although the final numbers will depend on the room sizes at the venue. For discussion leaders, slides and visualizations are encouraged to outline the subject matter and focus the discussions. Please refrain from lengthy presentations and talks; the sessions are supposed to be interactive, inclusive discussions. There will be no recording or audio bridge. However, we expect that written minutes will be published as we did in previous years: 2019: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2019/ 2018: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2018/ 2017: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2017/ 2016: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2016/ 2015: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2015/ 2014: http://lwn.net/Articles/LSFMM2014/ 3) If you have feedback on last year's meeting that we can use to improve this year's, please also send that to:         lsf-pc@lists.linux-foundation.org Thank you on behalf of the program committee:         Josef Bacik (Filesystems)         Amir Goldstein (Filesystems)         Martin K.
