LinuxCon | Mini SummitsWe are pleased to include a number of community organized mini-summits at LinuxCon in 2010. Many of these are open to all interested parties – we encourage you to participate. Please check back for additions to this page. If you have an event that you would like to include with LinuxCon this year, please contact us at events [at] linuxfoundation [dot] org. Open Cloud SummitSunday, August 8th The Open Cloud Summit is where industry veterans, hackers, privacy advocates, and cloud enthusiasts will come together to discuss the vision for open cloud and the technology that makes it feasible. As cloud computing adoption continues to accelerate, it becomes paramount to discuss the relationship between cloud computing and open source software, the open data movement, open APIs, data and service portability, and online privacy and data ownership. The Open Cloud Summit will feature a wide array of speakers and points of view on notable topics, including:
With this summit, we hope to highlight efforts to make cloud computing an open ecosystem that establishes the freedom to innovate within a framework that defines the rules, expectations and rights of participants in the cloud computing community. Attendance Requirements: Participants must register for LinuxCon in order to attend the Open Cloud Summit. Register Here.
Linux Storage & Filesystem SummitSunday, August 8th & Monday, August 9th The Linux Storage & Filesystems Summit is a small by-invitation summit which focuses on collaboration and implementation. It brings together developers and researchers who work with the Linux storage and file system stacks. Discussion focuses on current problems and upcoming technology which will arrive in one to two years. The summit takes place over two days and is made up of separate storage and file system tracks, combined plenary sessions, and hands-on development sessions.

Tracing Mini-SummitMonday, August 9th A one day mini-summit on low overhead computer systems tracing will be held in Boston, co-located with LinuxCon, on Monday August 9, 2010. It is organized by Dominique Toupin, Ericsson, Robert Charpentier, DRDC, Mario Couture, DRDC, and Michel Dagenais, Ecole Polytechnique de Montréal. The objective of the mini-summit is to present the latest developments in low overhead kernel and user-space tracing, with emphasis on Linux and Multi-Core systems. A major push is underway to extend tracing tools and make them available from within popular integrated development environments such as Eclipse. This mini-summit will be a great forum to better understand and discuss the technical advantages of the different proposed techniques, algorithms, features and implementations. It features presentations from key players in kernel and user-space tracing, including Steven Rostedt (ftrace), Masami Hiramatsu (djprobes/kprobes), Mathieu Desnoyers (LTTng, tracepoints, UST), Stan Shebs (GDB tracepoints) and Marc Khouzam (Eclipse Tracing and Monitoring Framework and Debugger Service Framework). Please send suggestions and inquiries to tracingsummit [at] polymtl [dot] ca.

Education Mini-SummitMonday, August 9th The aim of this mini summit is to present the current developments in education with regard to open source, both in terms of classroom usage of open source technologies and classroom participation in the creation of aforementioned open source technologies. Sessions include hands-on technical demonstrations, deployment stories from users of open source in the field, classroom tips from teachers who have brought their students into open source communities, and more. The summit itself will serve as a platform for continued discussion on how to leverage student engagement in open source communities, and how those open source communities can benefit from the pool of fresh new talent and the tradition of deliberate and reflective learning that schools and good teachers provide.
