This year, the Maintainers Summit will be held in Vienna, Austria on
Tuesday, September 17th, 2024, just before the Linux Plumber's Conference
(September 18--20th).

As in previous years, the Maintainers Summit is invite-only, where the
primary focus will be process issues around Linux Kernel Development.
It will be limited to 30 invitees and a handful of sponsored
attendees.

Linus has generated a list of people for the program committee to
consider.  People who suggest topics that should be discussed at the
Maintainers Summit will also be added to the list for consideration.
To make topic suggestions for the Maintainers Summit, please send
e-mail to the ksummit@lists.linux.dev with a subject prefix of
[MAINTAINERS SUMMIT].

To get the most out of our topic discussions, folks proposing a topic
should also suggest relevant people and desired outcomes.

For an examples of past Maintainers Summit topics, please see these
LWN articles:

 * 2023 https://lwn.net/Articles/951847/
 * 2022 https://lwn.net/Articles/908320/
 * 2021 https://lwn.net/Articles/870415/

The Kernel Summit is organized as a track which is run in parallel
with the other tracks at the Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), and is
open to all registered attendees of LPC.  The goal of the Kernel
Summit track will be to provide a forum to discuss specific technical
issues that would be easier to resolve in person than over e-mail.
The program committee will also consider "information sharing" topics
if they are clearly of interest to the wider development community
(i.e., advanced training in topics that would be useful to kernel
developers).

To suggest a topic for the Kernel Summit, please do two things. by
June 16th, 2024.  First, please tag your e-mail with [TECH TOPIC].  As
before, please use a separate e-mail for each topic, and send the
topic suggestions to the ksummit discussion list.

Secondly, please create a topic at the Linux Plumbers Conference
proposal submission site and target it to the Kernel Summit track:

	https://lpc.events/event/18/abstracts/

Please do both steps.  I'll try to notice if someone forgets one or
the other, but your chances of making sure your proposal gets the
necessary attention and consideration are maximized by submitting both
to the mailing list and the web site.
