The idea is to select broad topic areas early, and then let microconf
owners determine actual content when we're much closer to the
conference date. This gives organizers enough info to request paper
submissions and potential attendees to determine if they want to come,
but still will let the miniconf be about current issues in September,
not our guesses in January.
We're relying on getting a person from each topic area – the microconf
owner – to determine the actual course of discussion, so it's also
very important that we find the right 10 people for that role.
What are significant problems that need work in Linux today?
Performance (where does it still need work?)
Kernel/userspace interaction, how this can be done better
Putting the Linux kernel in non-traditional places
Hands-on kernel experience (tutorials/new-hardware enablement)
Embedded issues
Free software desktop common standards
Free software desktop future directions
Samba, OpenLDAP, Kolab, other “non-desktop” projects that could have better desktop integration
“Network desktop” – meaning what exactly?
Linux Audio
Open Source Sound, ALSA, hardware drivers
The Big Picture of multimedia on the platform (video, codecs availability, media frameworks such as NMM and GStreamer, etc.)
X, randr rox, what next?
Networking: going to 10Gb and beyond.
Hardware support (wired net, wireless, USB) if not supported it's useless
Next UI innovation (multitouch?) toolkit integration
Toolkits using xcb directly, why not? rewards vs. work
Linux annoyances, how to eliminate
Server manageability, dtrace, portability, IPMI and configuration management
Virtualization, containers, namespaces, “putting more than 1 app on a server and keeping things tidy”
Flash Caches and Solid State Disks - are we ready to take advantage? What interesting things can we do in both userspace and kernel to take advantage of these technologies.
Creating Open Software for Open Hardware: obstacles and opportunities - problem solving, not just “I created an open hardware project and ported linux to it” type talks.
Cameras and V4L - Why is Linux behind in supporting web cameras? And how do we fix it? (Focus on UVC)
the video driver framework, how should it work (userspace/kernelspace interaction, mix/match of tuners and decoder chip drivers, how can we finally implement the promises that v4l2 made years ago, “simple” userspace interaction with the video driver layers, etc.)
Firefox integration, instead of just shipping it
Instrumentation, tuning, markers, trace, probes, systemtap, tuning, etc. Getting to the end-game.
Next-gen filesystems, redoing VFS layer
Platform consistency across distros, proper documentation, is entering error messages in google really what we want people to do?
Things implemented well on other OSes that Linux should adopt
Already solved?
Power management, D-Bus, acpid
Making X and the kernel play nice with each other
