It seems that there is interest into sharing/discussing some topics. The question is whether is has to be under the LPC even umbrella. Advantages of LPC: + well defined date + more attendees (ARM people, Steven Rostedt ;-) + access to some powerful video conference tool + access to another LPC content + support for the conference in the long term Advantages of self-organized event: + less paperwork? + cheaper? + only interested people invited + date after summer holidays + more time for the discussion I am in the favor of self organized event. For me, LPC is much less interesting without the personal contact and hallway conversations. All the LPC date is not ideal for me. Best Regards, Petr
