Kernel Summit 2006 planning kickoff

Kernel Summit 2006 planning kickoff

[Theodore Ts'o]

Hi all,

	It's February, and it's time to start planning for the 2006
Kernel Summit.  As before, it will be held in Ottawa right before OLS,
on Monday and Tuesday, on July 17th and 18th.

	The program committee this year will be composed by the
following people, and you can send mail to them at the e-mail address
ksummit-2006-pc@thunk.org:

	James Bottomley
	Jonathon Corbet
	Gerrit Huizenga
	Dave Jones
	Andi Kleen
	Greg Kroah-Hartman
	Matthew Mackall
	David Miller
	Andrew Morton
	Theodore Ts'o

Please give these people thanks for agreeing to volunteer for this very
important task. 

	I have also set up a mailing list, ksummit-2006-discuss@thunk.org,
which is a public list open to all to join.  In order to give people a
chance to join the list before discussion opens, I will wait 24 hours
before opening up the list.  The topics for that list will include:

	* What went right last year; suggestions on what we could do
          better this year
	* What topics do you believe are important for us to include
          this year.

	Finally, if you have anybody in mind that you think the progam
committee should definitely keep in mind as someone we should
consider  inviting to the kernel summit, please send a note to the
program committee mailing list, or to me directly.

	Many thanks!!

						- Ted

Kernel Summit 2006 discuss list now open

[Theodore Ts'o]

Hi,

	After giving people time to subscribe, I've opened the Kernel
Summit 2006 discussion mailing list.  For people who want to
subscribe, please visit:

http://thunk.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ksummit-2006-discuss

	So to kick off the discussion, here are some topics for which
I and the program committee would invite input:

* How could the kernel summit be improved this year?
* What did you like and would like us to make sure we do again?
	* What sort of attendee gift should we go for this year?
	* What sort of food should be served?

* What topics are important for us to include on the agenda?  (This
	last is the most important!)


	In addition, if you have anybody in mind that you think the
progam committee should definitely keep in mind as someone we should
consider inviting to the kernel summit, please send a note to the
program committee mailing list (ksummit-2006-pc@thunk.org), or to me
directly.

	Thanks, and let the discussion begin.  (Given how folks love
to rip apart^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H offer constructive criticism for
improvement regarding patches, I'm sure you won't be shy.  :-)
