Virtualization - Apr 2013 - 2013 Linux Plumbers ACPI/PM, PCI Microconference proposal call for participaton

All:

We would like to hold a combined ACPI/PM, PCI focused microconference as
part of this year's Linux Plumbers conference but first we need to show
that there is enough interest and material that needs covered.

There is a lot of activity in these subsystems so please respond by
submitting presentation or discussion proposals that you would be willing
to cover for consideration (respond to this mail on the linux-pci list for
tracking purposes please).  You should also feel free to submit ideas as
proposals that others could cover.  This is the "Plumbers" conference
so
topics concerning userspace interaction with the kernel and not just topics
concerning pure kernel subsystem internals would be greatly welcomed.

The initial call[1] only produced two responses.  We understand that
everyone is busy but without proposals the program committee will not be
able to select this topic for approval - so please step up.


If approved by the program committee, we will give precedence to proposals
that bring up current issues that need attention, help, or resolution.  We
would like for the majority of the microconference to be "working session
discussions" in which a current issues in/with the ACPI/PM and PCI
subsystem space that needs solving are introduced and then opened up for
live discussion by attendees - much like what took place last year during
the Kernel Summit's PCI miniconf.

As a possible aid towards promoting topics for submissions we have listed a
few candidates that seem to meet the criteria in the microconference
proposals wiki located at
http://wiki.linuxplumbersconf.org/2013:pci_subsystem


Please feel free to forward this invitation on to any others, or relevant
lists, that seem appropriate.

Thanks,
  Len, Bjorn, Myron, Rafael
