Andrew Hutton, the guy doing all the hard work organizing OLS, told me there is an open slot because a speaker canceled. I'm wondering if there would be any interest in filling that slot, which is 14:45 on Wednesday. If you are going to OLS and any of these interest you, check off the one you want and drop me a mail. Thanks.
[ ] Cort and I could talk about the OS clustering stuff which has been discussed on the list recently. If there are a handful of people who want to talk about this, this would be my first choice. My goal is to make as many people as possible understand what it is that I mean, it's more subtle than it looks, Linus didn't understand for years that there was shared memory between the OS instances, which gives me a hint that maybe I've done a poor job of explaining things.
[ ] 6 months of kernel development in BitKeeper, what worked, what doesn't. I can do status, talk about what I know needs work, but I'm most interested in hearing users complaints. If the same things emerge over and over, that's a strong indication of what we need to fix. I'm also interested in hearing about whether bkbits.net is working well for you, we're thinking about adding another T1 line and I want to know if people want that or not.
[ ] BK tutorial. Andrew indicated that there was a fair amount of interest in this.
[ ] BitKeeper licensing, why it is the way it is. Richard Gooch had a private converation with me at the end of which he said "You need to go to OLS and tell people what you told me, the model makes a lot more sense after hearing that". I understand that the BK licensing model is not well loved but it might be less hated if you understood that it is a good faith attempt to make things work for everyone. I think that Richard's point was that that was a lot more clear after talking to me.
[ ] No talk, just free beer. I'll buy :)
