Hi, Just a reminder to everyone that the deadline for suggesting discussion topics (and for requesting attendance) at the LSF/MM 2011 is next Monday 6th of February. We will start sending out invitations this week to ensure that those of you who need visas have enough time to apply. Please do send a note to lsf-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx if you require a formal letter of invitation in order to apply for a US visa. Cheers, Trond Myklebust (on behalf of the program committee) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The annual Linux Storage, Filesystem and Memory Management Workshop for 2011 will be held on the 2 days preceding the Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit at Hotel Kabuki in the Japantown area of San Francisco: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/collaboration-summit Given the success of last year's 3 track experiment, we are once again planning to hold some joint sessions and the rest split into separate Storage, Filesystem and Memory Management breakout sessions. We'd therefore like to issue a call for agenda proposals that are suitable for cross-track discussion as well as more technical subjects for discussion in the breakout sessions. Suggestions for agenda topics should be sent before February 6th to lsf-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and optionally cc the Linux list which would be most interested in it: SCSI: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FS: linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MM: linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx Please remember to tag your subject with [LSF/MM TOPIC] to make it easier to track. Agenda topics and attendees will be selected by the programme committee, but the final agenda will be by formed by consensus of the attendees on the day. We'll 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. Requests to attend should be sent to: lsf-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx please summarize what expertise you will bring to the meeting, and what you'd like to discuss. please also tag your email with [ATTEND] so there's less chance of it getting lost in the large mail pile. Presentations are allowed to guide discussion, but are strongly discouraged. There will be no recording or audio bridge, however written minutes will be published as in previous years: 2010: http://lwn.net/Articles/399148/ http://lwn.net/Articles/399313/ http://lwn.net/Articles/400589/ 2009: http://lwn.net/Articles/327601/ http://lwn.net/Articles/327740/ http://lwn.net/Articles/328347/ Prior years: http://www.usenix.org/events/lsf08/tech/lsf08sums.pdf http://www.usenix.org/publications/login/2007-06/openpdfs/lsf07sums.pdf 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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx On behalf of the Program Committee, Thanks, ......... -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer NetApp Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx www.netapp.com -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
