Poll for call

[Miguel Ojeda]

Hi all,

Now that some days have passed since the RFC, let's have one of our calls.

I propose next weekend Saturday 24th or Sunday 25th at 18:00 UTC like
as usual (EU evening / US afternoon). Please let me know which day you
prefer, if any.

As usual, anybody is welcome to join. The meetings take place on
Google Meet. The invitation link will be sent later on to those
interested.

Cheers,
Miguel

SGTM; either work for me.

Either day works for me, and I'd love to join.

Linux Plumbers Conference and Kernel Summit are coming up. I'd like to
propose a "What Does the Kernel Need from Rust?" session, with my lang
and libs hats on.

I'd also love to talk about the recent LKML thread, and the plans for a
custom alloc crate vs reusing the Rust alloc crate.

Either works for me, with a slight preference for Saturday.

I have a microconf proposal for "Toolchains and Kernel MC" (similar to
last year) that I'm waiting to hear back on.  It would be nice if you
could hold that proposal for that MC, rather than the general
"Refereed-track."

I'd actually like to propose it for Kernel Summit. I'd also be happy to
participate in an LPC session similar to last year.

Ok, I will recall the "Toolchains and Kernel MC" proposal then; my
main interest was to have a venue for discussion about Rust+Linux; if
there's another venue more appropriate let's use that so that conf
organizers aren't confused by multiple proposals.

No, no, I think it absolutely makes sense to have Rust presentations in
a "Toolchains and Kernel" microconference of LPC as well; sorry for the
ambiguity. I think it would make sense to have the Toolchains and Kernel
microconference to discuss Rust in the kernel, as well as other
clang/LLVM topics. I was thinking of proposing something different, a
"what would we like from Rust" session. I had thought to propose that
for Kernel Summit, but I'd love to coordinate and make sure there isn't
any actual or perceived ambiguity for conference organizers, and if
there might be, I'd much rather make sure the focus is on the
microconference. Let's talk about it on the call this weekend.

Yep, my idea was coordinating this rather than sending different
proposals around -- I have received no replies so far either on my
proposal for a Rust talk (back when the MC was discussed).

Cheers,

Ah, right, my fault. I'm sorry, I should have provided feedback then
that our MC proposal itself was not the appropriate venue for the
actual talk submissions.  The conf organizers have a call for
microconferences before the microconferences even have topics.  They
want MC organizers to propose ideas, and what was accomplished since
last year as a result of last years' MCs.  Once the MC proposals get
accepted, then the MCs open calls for papers (CFP) for individual
talks.  I'm still waiting to hear from conference organizers when they
will accept talks; last year they did start publishing accepted MCs on
the LPC blog: https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/blog/2021/ (you can
see so far there are no announcements).  Until they accept our MC or
reject it, I cannot even yet open our call for papers.  But note that
my proposal very much was tailored to carving out time for Rust; see
attached.  Once I know if the MC is accepted, then at that point we
will have a CFP.

It's my strong recommendation that the conference talks related to
programming languages be a part of the Toolchains and Kernel MC
(assuming it gets accepted).  Whether it's one or two sessions doesn't
matter to me, though perhaps once we issue the call for papers will
depend on the response.
