Greetings,
As you may know, we are planning on having a wireless summit meeting
in Berlin, Germany this June. This meeting is in cooperation with
the Fedora FUDCon event, which will be accomodating us under the
guise of a "hackfest". This event also overlaps (and co-locates)
with LinuxTag 2009. Details are available here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Berlin_2009
FUDCon's are typically self-organizing under the BarCamp model.
However, I have secured a promise that we will be allocated space
for 1-2 dozen people on at least Friday 26 June and Saturday 27 June
for our wireless event. I personally encourage everyone not only to
attend LinuxTag but also to participate in the rest of FUDCon!
So, here I open the floor for discussion of agenda items for our
wireless meeting/hackfest. What do we think is important to discuss
face-to-face this year? What isn't getting done? What is getting
done wrong? What do we need that we didn't realize last year?
Also, please consider making some sort of prepared presentation.
Especially welcome would be topics that are accessible to those
outside of the core wireless developer group, such as current
projects on enhancing IBSS support, extended power savings, or any
other user-visible topic. I'll be happy to take such proposals in
private email or you can post them as part of this thread.
Hopefully this gets the discussion started...please comment!
John
P.S. We are also planning a meeting in Portland this September for
those unable or unwilling to travel outside of North America for
whatever reason -- stay tuned.

Hi,
There is a lot of interest in Linux Wireless around the world. I
believe that many who cannot attend (like me), will be happy if videos
and slides of the presentations will be available afterwards. (as was
done in other Fedora FUDCon conferences in the past).
Regards,
Mark

Hello,
I believe that 802.11n implementation and design in the Linux Wireless =
stack
can be of interest/good to include (also 802.11n Linux future direction=
s ).
Currently packet aggregation is implemented only with the ath9k and iwl=
wifi
mac80211 drivers (there are vendors who have non-native 802.11n
drivers as well).
Packet aggregation details (ampdu and amsdu RX) seems to me to be of in=
terest
(especially considering that there are chances of confirming the 802.11=
n spec at
the end of this year).

Rami Rosen

I'll be there unless something weird happens -- anything mac80211
related and especially aggregation (since I rewrote it) I can cover.

I could talk about power save and have a small presentation about it.
Only problem is that I'm not yet sure I'm able to come. It will take few
weeks before I know that :(

Since I've just booked my train (will arrive 1:30pm or so on the 25th,
leave Sunday [28th] late afternoon), here are some things I could
possibly talk about:
* status of moving to nl80211/cfg80211 -- overview over new cfg80211
operations, maybe with Jouni?
* power saving if Kalle can't make it
* aggregation/11n support -- fairly technical but I've just rewritten
things :)
* maybe some regulatory stuff but Luis really is the expert, unless by
then I've rewritten it according to my plan ;)

I am going to be in France during that period. I might make it,=20
but it requires convincing my spouse that Berlin is worth visting.

Good idea.

What about proper roaming support? I think it will be the thing we are
lacking after power save is finished. There was talk about having GSoC
project, what happened to it?
I'm interested about roaming, but I don't how much time if any I can
find for implementing it. But I could make a summary of all
discussions we have had here during the last year and maybe try to
start some discussion at the summit. What others think?

It's nice to know in advance who will be there. So yes, at least I
want such a list :)

That project was not accepted - and we even got three.

Sounds useful. Helmut will have input too I guess, and he'll be there.

It is worth it. You don't have much town in the western
hemisphere that used have been devided into "social
capitalimism" vs. "jail-like socialism". Part of "The wall" do
exist today, or the Checkpoint Charlie.
Look for "Attractions" and "Museums" on
http://www.berlin.de/international/index.en.php
And if you don't mind driving some kilometers, I'd also recommend
Castle Sanssouci in Potsdam,

I will arrive to Berlin on Thursday before noon and will leave on
Sunday evening.

I've tried to capture the discussion from here on the wiki:
http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Summits/Berlin-2009
Feel free to edit and add suggestions, or put yourself into "confirmed
attendees" (do we want that? it seemed we should say who will be there)
or put yourself into the section with confirmed talks :)

Yep, a roaming discussion would be great.

Sorry no... I got a place to sleep at someone of Freifunk Berlin.
Maybe this page could help to find some more hotels (don't know the page
itself, just googled for a German hotel search engine) ?

Can we book a room on Holiday in
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Berlin_2009_lodging) or is it
only for Fedora people ? What's the process ? I've managed to find
some funding for travel expenses but most hotels are really expensive
(i plan to come on 24 and leave on 29).

AFAIK you are welcome to do so -- note that they are supposed to be
booking the rooms _today_, so move quickly!
