The annual Linux Storage, Filesystem and Memory Management Summit for 2016 will be held on April 18th and 19th at the Raleigh Marriott City center, Raleigh, NC. Like last year, LSF/MM will be colocated with the Linux Foundation Vault conference which takes place on April 20th and 21st in the same venue. For those that do not know, Vault is designed to be an event where open source storage and filesystem practitioners meet storage implementors and, as such, it would be of benefit for LSF/MM attendees to attend. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linux-storage-filesystem-and-mm-summit http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/vault 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. 1) Proposals for agenda topics should be sent before February 29th, 2016 to: lsf-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and cc the Linux list or lists that are relevant for the topic in question: ATA: linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Block: linux-block@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FS: linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MM: linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx SCSI: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx If advance notice is required for visa applications then please send proposals before February 11th. The committee will complete the first round of selections near that date to accommodate applications. Please tag your proposal with [LSF/MM 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 at the summit. 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. 2) Requests to attend the summit should be sent to: lsf-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Please summarise what expertise you will bring to the meeting, and what you would like to discuss. Please also tag your email with [LSF/MM ATTEND] so there is less chance of it getting lost. Presentations are allowed to guide discussion, but are strongly discouraged. There will be no recording or audio bridge. However, we expect that written minutes will be published as we did in previous years 2015: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2015/ 2014: http://lwn.net/Articles/LSFMM2014/ 2013: http://lwn.net/Articles/548089/ 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thank you on behalf of the program committee: Storage: Jens Axboe (track chair) James Bottomley Christoph Hellwig Martin K.
