We initially sent this pretty early this year, so this is a resend in case anyone missed the first posting. The call for topics and attendance requests is open until January 15th, 2017. The original message follows: ----------------------8<------------------------ The annual Linux Storage, Filesystem and Memory Management (LSF/MM) Summit for 2017 will be held on March 20th and 21st at the Hyatt Cambridge, Cambridge, MA. LSF/MM is an invitation-only technical workshop to map out improvements to the Linux storage, filesystem and memory management subsystems that will make their way into the mainline kernel within the coming years. http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linux-storage-filesystem-and-mm-summit Like last year, LSF/MM will be colocated with the Linux Foundation Vault conference which takes place on March 22nd and 23rd 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. Unlike past years, Vault admission is not free for LSF/MM attendees this year unless they're giving a talk. There is a discount for LSF/MM attendees, however we would also like to encourage folks to submit talk proposals to speak at the Vault conference. 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. If advance notice is required for visa applications then please point that out in your proposal or request to attend, and submit the topic as soon as possible. 1) Proposals for agenda topics should be sent before January 15th, 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 NVMe: linux-nvme@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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 on the day. 2) Requests to attend the summit for those that are not proposing a topic 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] and send it as a new thread so there is less chance of it getting lost. 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. Brief 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: 2016: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2016/ 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: James Bottomley Martin K.
