[Ksummit-discuss] Draft agenda for the kernel summit

[Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>]

Hi,

Enclosed please find the draft agenda for the kernel summit next week.
Some of the talks haven't been confirmed yet, and there is still one,
maybe two TBD slots.

If you have any thoughts or comments about topics that you think that we
should absolutely cover, either from discussions on the ksummit-discuss
list (Paul McKenney put together a very nice summary here
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/paulmck/LKS/LKS2014Topics.html)
or which have come up more recently, please make any suggestions here on
this e-mail thread.

I'm also looking for feedback about whether there is anything left but
tattered horse hide from the "encouraging more reviewers" discussion.
As a program committee member observed to me privately, the problem is
still real, but it's not clear how much more we would get out of having
a face to face discussion that wasn't covered in the e-mail.

Thanks,

                                                - Ted
