Hi Folks,

This is a call for participation for the Linux Testing microconference
at LPC this year.

For those who were at LPC last year, as the closing panel mentioned,
testing is probably the next big push needed to improve quality. From
getting more selftests in, to regression testing to ensure we don't
break realtime as more of PREEMPT_RT comes in, to more stable distros,
we need more testing around the kernel.

We have talked about different efforts around testing, such as fuzzing
(using syzkaller and trinity), automating fuzzing with syzbot, 0day
testing, test frameworks such as ktests, smatch to find bugs in the
past. We want to push this discussion further this year and are
interested in hearing from you what you want to talk about, and where
kernel testing needs to go next.

Please let us know what topics you believe should be a part of the
micro conference this year.

Thanks!
Sasha and Dhaval
