Since this summit is about kernel filesystem development, I am not sure
on-prem attendance will be the best option for Nikolaus as we do have
a quota for
on-prem attendees, but we should have an option for connecting specific
attendees remotely for specific sessions, so that could be great.

Two more notes:
1. We realize that companies are going through economic changes and that
this may not be the best time to request travel approval or to be able to
get it. This should not stop you from requesting to attend!
Worse case, you can attend remotely. It is not the same experience, but
it is better than not attending at all if you have something to
contribute to
the discussion.
2. Bernd, I think you have some interesting WIP on "FUSE2" that the majority
of fs developers are not aware of.
It would be great if you can follow the instructions in CFP and also post
a TOPIC suggestion to fsdevel, to get the discussion started ahead of
the summit.
Daniel, same request for FUSE BFP. The TOPIC suggestion should
highlight the remaining open questions about design and API, which
may be good to discuss in this forum.
Please do not be intimidated by suggesting a TOPIC, you don't need
to prepare any slides if you do not want to, nor to submit an abstract
or anything of that sort.

Thanks,
Amir.
