Still a while to go, but this event is getting closer.  I would love to
see some more concrete topic proposals for talks, both presentations
and discussions.

Here is what I've seen so far:

Speaker				Topic
-------				-----
Joao Paulo Rechi Vita		status and roadmap of Bluetooth LE
Andrei Emeltchenko		Virtual Bluetooth AMP Controller for mac80211
Alexander Smirnov		802.15.4 stack, 6lowpan

Not bad, but I'd like to see some more!  Some ideas:

	-- "state of the union" for bluetooth, nfc, 802.11
	-- wireless mesh networking status updates
	-- cfg80211/mac80211 feature previews (what's coming?)
	-- standards bodies reports (802.11, 802.15.x)
	-- important or unusual use cases (e.g. Freifunk, Internet of Things)
	-- userland wireless management apps (NetworkManager, connman)
	-- wireless-oriented (or wireless-specific) applications
	-- issues with managing a wireless networking sub-tree
	-- long-term support for legacy hardware (Intel?  Atheros?)
	-- driver projects without hardware vendor support?
	-- staging driver migration?  out-of-tree driver merging?
	-- ???

I'm sure there are worthwhile topics that I didn't suggest yet --
feel free to suggest your own!  And if you can address one of those
topics or one of your own, please reply either to this thread or
directly to me.

Please note -- you do not necessarily to be a kernel developer (or a
developer at all) to merit a speaking slot!  Anyone with a topic to
propose will receive appropriate consideration.

So, let's hear it! :-)
