Of course, this is subject to change depending on how much progress the world makes towards vaccinating the population against the COVID-19 virus, and whether employers are approving conference travel. At this point, there's a fairly good chance that we will need to move to a virtual conference format, either for one or both of the summits. As in previous years, the Maintainers Summit is invite-only, where the primary focus will be process issues around Linux Kernel Development. It will be limited to 30 invitees and a handful of sponsored attendees. The Kernel Summit is organized as a track which is run in parallel with the other tracks at the Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), and is open to all registered attendees of LPC. Linus has generated a core list of people to be invited to the Maintainers Summit, and the program committee will be using that list a starting point of people to be considered. People who suggest topics that should be discussed at the Maintainers Summit will also be added to the list for consideration. To make topic suggestions for the Maintainers Summit, please send e-mail to the ksummit@lists.linux.dev with a subject prefix of [MAINTAINERS SUMMIT]. (Note: The older ksummit-discuss@lists.linuxfoundation.org list has been migrated to lists.linux.dev, with the subscriber list and archives preserved.) The other job of the program committee will be to organize the program for the Kernel Summit. The goal of the Kernel Summit track will be to provide a forum to discuss specific technical issues that would be easier to resolve in person than over e-mail. The program committee will also consider "information sharing" topics if they are clearly of interest to the wider development community (i.e., advanced training in topics that would be useful to kernel developers). To suggest a topic for the Kernel Summit, please do two things. First, please tag your e-mail with [TECH TOPIC]. As before, please use a separate e-mail for each topic, and send the topic suggestions to the ksummit-discuss list. Secondly, please create a topic at the Linux Plumbers Conference proposal submission site and target it to the Kernel Summit track. For your convenience you can use: https://bit.ly/lpc21-summit Please do both steps. I'll try to notice if someone forgets one or the other, but your chances of making sure your proposal gets the necessary attention and consideration are maximized by submitting both to the mailing list and the web site. People who submit topic suggestions before June 12th and which are accepted, will be given free admission to the Linux Plumbers Conference. We will be reserving roughly half of the Kernel Summit slots for last-minute discussions that will be scheduled during the week of Plumbers, in an "unconference style". This allows last-minute ideas that come up to be given given slots for discussion. If you were not subscribed on to the kernel@lists.linux-dev mailing list from last year (or if you had removed yourself from the ksummit-discuss@lists.linux-foundation.org mailing list after the previous year's kernel and maintainers' summit summit), you can subscribe sending an e-mail to: ksummit+subscribe@lists.linux.dev The mailing list archive is available at: https://lore.kernel.org/ksummit The program committee this year is composed of the following people: Jens Axboe Arnd Bergmann Jon Corbet Greg Kroah-Hartman Ted Ts'o
