The annual Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF (LSF/MM/BPF) Summit for 2020 will be held from April 27 - April 29 at The Riviera Palm Springs, A Tribute Portfolio Resort in Palm Springs, California. LSF/MM/BPF is an invitation-only technical workshop to map out improvements to the Linux storage, filesystem, BPF, and memory management subsystems that will make their way into the mainline kernel within the coming years. LSF/MM/BPF 2020 will be a three day, stand-alone conference with four 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. This year will be a little different for requesting attendance. Please do the following by February 15th, 2020. 1) Fill out the following Google form to request attendance and suggest any topics https://forms.gle/voWi1j9kDs13Lyqf9 In previous years we have accidentally missed people's attendance requests because they either didn't cc lsf-pc@ or we simply missed them in the flurry of emails we get. Our community is large and our volunteers are busy, filling this out will help us make sure we don't miss anybody. 2) Proposals for agenda topics should still be sent to the following lists to allow for discussion among your peers. This will help us figure out which topics are important for the agenda. 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 BPF: bpf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Please tag your proposal with [LSF/MM/BPF 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. 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: 2019: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2019/ 2018: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2018/ 2017: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2017/ 2016: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2016/ 2015: https://lwn.net/Articles/lsfmm2015/ 2014: http://lwn.net/Articles/LSFMM2014/ 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: Josef Bacik (Filesystems) Amir Goldstein (Filesystems) Martin K.
