Linville Date: Thu, Mar 22, 2012 at 12:24 PM Subject: RFC/CFP -- Linux Wireless (802.11/Bluetooth/NFC) Mini-Summit 2012 (Barcelona?) To: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org, linux-bluetooth@vger.kernel.org Greetings! For the past several years, Linux wireless LAN developers have held "mini-summit" events to bring us together face-to-face. =A0This has helped us to develop better working relationships with one and another and to resolve certain issues that would have been much more difficult to resolve strictly over email and IRC. For some time we have discussed combining these events with similar gatherings of Bluetooth developers. =A0Now that NFC has an in-kernel Linux presence, it makes sense to include them as well. =A0So, we are hoping to have a joint mini-summit event along the lines of the KVM Forum or the Linux File System, Storage, and Memory Management Summit events. A number of wireless developers reside in Europe, but our last few meetings have been held in North America. =A0So, there is a strong desire to have a European location for this event. =A0Initial contact with the Linux Foundation suggests that we can co-locate this event with the LinuxCon Europe event in Barcelona this November. =A0Other suggestions are welcome as well, of course. If we join the LinuxCon Europe event, we would need to decide how to fund the event. =A0One option would be to charge a separate entry fee for the mini-summit event, seperate from the LinuxCon EU fee. =A0Those that do not wish to attend LinuxCon EU may find that attractive. =A0OTOH, in the past we have simply said that all the mini-summit attendees had to register for the sponsoring event. =A0That has worked reasonably well, especially since event speakers would be eligible to attend the mini-summit for no fee. =A0I would lean toward keeping that approach. Given the potential to expand this into a larger event, we would likely need to be somewhat more formal about having proposals for speaking slots. =A0In that case, we might require a program committee for reviewing proposals, etc. =A0Anyone interested in participating in speaking at the mini-summit or in reviewing speaking proposals should contact me or reply in this thread. Well, that's about it -- let's kick this off! John -- John W.
