Yes, I have a slightly different proposal. There are four important topics which need to be discussed in my opinion (and it is important to stress out "my opinion"). - GCC optimizations. We can connect it with "live patch creation tooling" probably. - Arch support - s390 consistency model, arm64 support, powerpc objtool - Livepatch callback state management - Livepatch is too flexible Then there are two topics which look more like presentations and it would definitely be interesting to have them. - User space live patching (libpulp) - eLivepatch I did not forget about Jason's slot. I just don't know where to include it, because although there was email about it I still don't understand what it is about. It could go to the first group as well as to the second. Now, I'd split the time to two slots. One about 1:45 hour long for the first group of topics. The rest for the second group. We can easily decide if a discussion is fruitful, or not and then move to a next topic. I think it could be better than fixed time slots. It is a pity that MC on Thu afternoon. There would not be a time to finish the discussion in a hallway track or another BoF session. But we'll see. What do you think? Miroslav
