In general, tutorial level talks are not appropriate for either the Plumbers Conference or Kernel Summit. This applies both to your submission, "Building A Docker Engine On A Custom Linux OS For Raspberry Pi 3" and your proposed talk, "Structural Decomposition Of The Linux FileSystem". A description of how Windows uses the C:/ and D:/, and contrasting this with Linux's use of mounts and a single directory hierarchy, as well as /bin, /boot, and /dev, is far too basic this conference. The talks you have submitted appropriate for the Open Source Summit; perhaps you should consider submitting them to those conferences? At the Kernel Summit and Linux Plumbers Conference, most of the attendees who are interested in file systems are people who write and maintain new file systems in the kernel. We will also have people who create the container systems which are used as the basis of systems like Docker. Many attendes will have built one (or more!) automated systems for creating root file systems for embedded systems on Raspberry Pi's, mobile handsets, automative systems, etc, so a manual walkthrough of how to install the boot loader, kernel, and root file system on an image designed to be written onto a SD Card is not going to be terribly interesting for the conference attendees.
