I can understand a rejection; I mean, last year there was already a BOF about the topic, which makes the "newness" of the talk less. In weighing the undoubtedly very many proposals, the OLS committee needs to make hard choices obviously; and I can see the point of preferring new talks over talks which cover a topic that was discussed the year before. that to me doesn't sound like a conspiracy, but just running a conference sanely. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
