Subject: Linux Storage and Filesystems Summit 8-9 August


This year we'll hold the Linux Storage and Filesystems summit jointly
with the VM summit on the two days before LinuxCon in Boston (that's
Sunday and Monday) at the Renaissance Hotel:

http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/linuxcon

We're planning to hold some sessions jointly and split into three tracks
(Filesystems, Storage and VM) for others, so we're encouraging proposals
for discussion that cover areas relevant to all three groups as well as
more specific technical topics.

Suggestions for agenda topics should be sent to

[email protected]

and optionally cc the Linux list which would be most interested in it:

SCSI: [email protected]
FS: [email protected] (plus relevant fs specific list)
MM: [email protected]

Please tag your subject with [LSF/VM TOPIC] so those of us who're not
very organised can find them easily in our inboxes. The agenda topics
and attendees will be selected by the programme committee, but the final
agenda will be by formed by consensus of the attendees on the day.

We'll try to cap attendance at around 20 per track to facilitate
discussions although the final numbers will depend on the room sizes
at the venue.

Requests to attend should be sent to:

[email protected]

please summarise what you'll bring to the meeting, and what you'd like
to discuss. please also tag your email with [ATTEND] so there's less
chance of it getting lost in the large mail pile.

Presentations are allowed to guide discussion, but are strongly
discouraged. There will be no recording or audio bridge, however
written minutes will be published as in previous years:
