The Ottawa Linux Symposium

Next week is the Ottawa Linux Symposium, happening June 26 to 29. The schedule is full of seriously technical talks from many prominent Linux developers; it looks to be an interesting event. For those who are unable to attend this (sold out) conference, the full proceedings have been placed online as a single, huge, 630-page PDF file; it has been mirrored by LWN and on William Stearns's site.

Immediately preceeding OLS is the second Kernel Summit. Topics to be discussed there include the Linux Security Module patch, virtual memory, asynchronous I/O, cleaning up the module mechanism, "carrier grade Linux," 2.6 goals, the block I/O subsystem, cleaning up the SCSI layer, and more. It looks to be an interesting event, to say the least.

LWN editor Jonathan Corbet will be taking a break from the smell of wood smoke and the drone of slurry bombers (which are regular Colorado features, these days) to attend both events; he will report back when time and connectivity allow.
