This is a reminder that we are still taking requests for this years Linux
Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit. Below is the original
announcement but we would like to hilight a few changes and re-iterate a few
things.
1) The venue has been finalized and as such the website is now live
https://events.linuxfoundation.org/lsfmm/
2) Please make sure to fill out the google form to make sure we don't miss your
request.
3) PLEASE STILL SUBMIT TOPICS TO THE RELEVANT MAILINGLISTS. The topics of
interest part of the form is so we can figure out what topics from the
mailinglist are the relevant discussions to have. If you submit a topic please
feel free to paste a lore link in your form if you've not already filled out the
form.
The rest of the details of course are in the original announcment which is
included below. Thanks,

-------------- Original announcement ---------------------
The annual Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF
(LSF/MM/BPF) Summit for 2020 will be held from April 27 - April 29 at
The Riviera Palm Springs, A Tribute Portfolio Resort in Palm Springs,
California. LSF/MM/BPF is an invitation-only technical workshop to map
out improvements to the Linux storage, filesystem, BPF, and memory
management subsystems that will make their way into the mainline kernel
within the coming years.
LSF/MM/BPF 2020 will be a three day, stand-alone conference with four
subsystem-specific tracks, cross-track discussions, as well as BoF and
hacking sessions.
On behalf of the committee I am issuing a call for agenda proposals
that are suitable for cross-track discussion as well as technical
subjects for the breakout sessions.
If advance notice is required for visa applications then please point
that out in your proposal or request to attend, and submit the topic
as soon as possible.
This year will be a little different for requesting attendance. Please
do the following by February 15th, 2020.
1) Fill out the following Google form to request attendance and
suggest any topics
https://forms.gle/voWi1j9kDs13Lyqf9
In previous years we have accidentally missed people's attendance
requests because they either didn't cc lsf-pc@ or we simply missed them
in the flurry of emails we get. Our community is large and our
volunteers are busy, filling this out will help us make sure we don't
miss anybody.
2) Proposals for agenda topics should still be sent to the following
lists to allow for discussion among your peers. This will help us
figure out which topics are important for the agenda.
? ? ? [email protected]
and CC the mailing lists that are relevant for the topic in question:
? ? ? ? FS:? ? [email protected]
? ? ? ? MM:? ? [email protected]
? ? ? ? Block:[email protected]
? ? ? ? ATA:? [email protected]
? ? ? ? SCSI:? [email protected]
? ? ? ? NVMe:? [email protected]
BPF: [email protected]
Please tag your proposal with [LSF/MM/BPF TOPIC] to make it easier to
track. In addition, please make sure to start a new thread for each
topic rather than following up to an existing one. Agenda topics and
attendees will be selected by the program committee, but the final
agenda will be formed by consensus of the attendees on the day.
We will try to cap attendance at around 25-30 per track to facilitate
discussions although the final numbers will depend on the room sizes
at the venue.
For discussion leaders, slides and visualizations are encouraged to
outline the subject matter and focus the discussions. Please refrain
from lengthy presentations and talks; the sessions are supposed to be
interactive, inclusive discussions.
There will be no recording or audio bridge. However, we expect that
written minutes will be published as we did in previous years:
