[Ksummit-discuss] self-nomination

[Wangnan (F)]

Hi folks,

I'd like to self-nominate for kernel summit this year.

I'm a developer of perf tool. Internally to Huawei, I managed
a internal Linux distribution for embedded devices so I'm
interested in kernel stable workflow. Currently I'm working
on tracing and Linux performance analysis. I'm looking for a
chance to improve the usage of BPF.

I'd like to attend any tracing or performance related discussion.

Thank you.

Hi,

I would like to nominate myself to the kernel summit. I am part of the set of
networking developers and also now part of the team at Microsoft providing
Linux integration. The team does lots of stuff to make Linux run better on
Hyper-V and Azure as well as contributing to other upstream projects.

As the Linux bridge maintainer, I am also concerned with all the network
glue layers that are holding OpenStack and containers together. Linux has
done a good job of providing networking components, and that it is like
a box of parts in the drawer being stuck together. It works, but the performance
and maintainability suffer. This is not just unique to network devices;
the topic applies to cgroups, storage and other services.

Hello,

I would like to nominate myself for the Kernel Summit 2016.

My current areas of activity in the Linux kernel are the media (for media 
controller and V4L2) and graphics subsystems, where I hack on both the core 
frameworks and device drivers.

The topics proposed this year that I'm particularly interested in are

- Probe ordering, device dependencies and asynchronous probing, especially 
given their direct impact on embedded media and graphics devices (in the 
functional sense) that are usually made of multiple kernel devices (in the 
struct device sense).

- Sensors and subsystem boundaries. As the co-author of the media controller 
API (with Sakari Ailus, based on a proposal from Hans Verkuil) I've tried to 
bridge the gap between the media, sound and graphics subsystems for a long 
time. Lessons learnt there can be of interest to the other areas of the kernel 
now being impacted by the same issue.

- Testing infrastructure and unit testing, wearing both my programmer and 
technical evangelist hats. This could overlap partially with the regression 
tracking topic.


If the documentation and maintainership topics get discussed (in sessions or 
during the hallway track) I would like to participate as well.

All,

I'd like to nominate myself for attending this year's KS.  My primary
focus is in security topics.  Signature management, secure boot, the
kernel-hardening efforts. Particularly on embedded systems. [0]

Since applying updates is a key security trait, I'm very interested in
discussing the stable workflow, safety review, and code minimization
efforts.  In particular, ways to make it easier for vendors to provide
updates and for users to apply them.

I'm also perennially interested in co-maintainer workflows, especially
when sub-maintainers are contributing their trees to linux-next.

If anyone is interested in discussing hobbyists and recruitment, I'm
game.  But it looks like that would be hallway track this year.  Or,
over a beer or three. ;-)

thx,

Jason.

[0] I've been doing a lot of work over the past year or so on secure
communications and building trust in their foundations.  In particular,
methods for developing strong entropy pools at early boot on
legacy/feature-less embedded systems.  So, I'd love to meet with folks
also interested in this to discuss and share ideas.

Always interested in discussing this. And often in beer as well.

My interest in this topic is inversely proportional in my interest in beer 
(which, despite my Belgian origins, is close to zero). If this becomes a 
hallway track we could more easily extend the scope beyond the Linux kernel 
and discuss how to recruit more developers for open-source development in 
general (hopefully some of them will make the insane^Wright choice of hacking 
the Linux kernel).

Hi folks !

I would like to self-nominate for kernel summit this year.

I am co-maintainer of the powerpc architecture, and internally to IBM,
lead architect for Linux on POWER. I also lead the team handling the
kernel components of OpenBMC on our side.

I would like to also participate in some of the memory model
discussions, device-tree discussions and PCIe microconference among
others.

Cheers,
Ben
