However, the reason you didn't get an invite is because you didn't request one. The CFP http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=129503688923313 Was pretty clear ... to get an invite you need to send a topic or attend email to the PC list, which you didn't do. Even if I look at the three replies you made to other people's topic or attend emails, I'd be very hard pressed to construe any of them as a request to attend. > If you think I am wrong I will be more than happy to retract my > complain and attend to present my newest test results with the latest > patches. I'm afraid that we're pretty much oversubscribed on all tracks at LSF/MM 2011 now (in fact, the FS track is very oversubscribed). I can put you on the reserve list in case there are any cancellations, if you like. Just for future reference: LSF definitely isn't a venue to turn up to present patches. The correct way to do that is to the relevant mailing list for proper discussion and consideration. LSF can be used to discuss existing patches, and even to try to reach consensus on a set of patches on the mailing lists, but turning up with unreviewed patches just wastes everyone's time.
