The annual Linux Storage, Filesystem and Memory Management (LSF/MM) Summit for 2018 will be held from April 23-25 at the Deer Valley Lodges in Park City, Utah. 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 LSF/MM 2018 will be a three day, stand-alone conference with three subsystem-specific tracks, cross-track discussions, as well as BoF and hacking sessions. 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 31st, 2018 to: lsf-pc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and CC the mailing lists that are relevant for the topic in question: FS: linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx MM: linux-mm@xxxxxxxxx Block: linux-block@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ATA: linux-ide@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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 summarize 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. For discussion leaders, slides and visualizations are encouraged to outline the subject matter and focus the discussions. Please refrain from lengthy presentations and talks; the sessions are supposed to be interactive, inclusive discussions. There will be no recording or audio bridge. However, we expect that written minutes will be published as we did in previous years: 2017: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2017/ 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: Anna Schumaker (Filesystems) Jens Axboe (Storage) Josef Bacik (Filesystems) Martin K.
