As in previous years, the Maintainers Summit is invite-only, where the primary focus will be process issues around Linux Kernel Development. It will be limited to 30 invitees and a handful of sponsored attendees. The Maintainers Summit depends on the development community to bring forward topics that can benefit from discussion in that setting. What are the nagging development issues, pain points, or other important decisions that are not amenable to resolution on the mailing lists? If you have a topic in mind, please send it to ksummit@lists.linux.dev with a subject prefix of [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT]. The attendees are jointly selected by Linus Torvlads (who has provided us with a roughly a dozen maintainers that he would like to attend), and the program committee, who choose from maintainers and developers who have been the most active in the past year. Anybody proposing a topic before July 24th will be added to the list of potential attendees selected by the program committee; other potential nominees can be proposed (as a self-nomination or by others) by sending a note to the ksumimt list saying why that person's presence would help the discussion. For an examples of past Maintainers Summit topics, please see the these LWN articles: * 2025 https://lwn.net/Articles/1049982/ * 2024 https://lwn.net/Articles/990740/ * 2023 https://lwn.net/Articles/951847/ The program committee this year is composed of the following people: Christian Brauner Jon Corbet Greg KH Ted Ts'o Rafael J.
