Maintainer's Summit moved to Edinburgh
The Maintainer's Summit, which is an invite-only gathering of 30 or so kernel developers to discuss process issues with Linus Torvalds, has moved from November 12 in Vancouver, Canada to October 22 in Edinburgh, Scotland in conjunction with Open Source Summit Europe. The technical side of the discussions will still be held as the Kernel Summit track at the Linux Plumbers Conference November 13-15 in Vancouver. There was, it seems, some confusion about the Maintainer's Summit, as Theodore Y. Ts'o said in the announcement of the move: "Last Friday (just before Labor Day) I learned that Linus had gottenconfused about when and where the Maintainer's Summit was going to beheld this year. And most unfortunately, he has already scheduled afamily vacation overlapping with the week of the Maintainer's Summit. [...] The Kernel Summit track will still be held in Vancouver alongsidePlumber's. Technical discussions will take place there; we simplywon't have the time, or necessarily, the right people, to havetechnical discussions at the Maintainer's Summit."
