Subject: Maintainers Summit 2025 Call for Topics

This year, the Maintainers Summit will be held in Tokyo, Japan on
Wednesday, December 10th, 2025, just before the Linux Plumber's Conference
(December 11 -- 13th).

As in previous years, the Maintainers Summit is invite-only, where the
primary focus will be process issues around Linux Kernel Development.
It will be limited to 30 invitees and a handful of sponsored
attendees.

Linus has generated a list of people for the program committee to
consider.  People who suggest topics that should be discussed at the
Maintainers Summit will also be added to the list for consideration.
To make topic suggestions for the Maintainers Summit, please send
e-mail to ksummit@...ts.linux.dev with a subject prefix of
[MAINTAINERS SUMMIT].  Late submissions will be considered, but people
submit submissions before September 10th will be considered for
receiving an invite.  Invitations may be issued after that date, but
only on a space-availale basis.

For an examples of past Maintainers Summit topics, please see the
these LWN articles:

Related to the Maintainer's Summit, the Kernel Summit is organized as
a track which is run in parallel with the other tracks at the Linux
Plumbers Conference (LPC), and is open to all registered attendees of
LPC.  The goal of the Kernel Summit track will be to provide a forum
to discuss specific technical issues that would be easier to resolve
in person than over e-mail.  The program committee will also consider
"information sharing" topics if they are clearly of interest to the
wider development community (i.e., advanced training in topics that
would be useful to kernel developers).

To suggest a topic for the Kernel Summit, please do two things. by
September 10th, 2025. First, please send e-mail with a subject prefix of
[TECH TOPIC] to ksummit@...ts.linux.dev.  As before, please use a separate
e-mail for each topic.

Secondly, please create a topic at the Linux Plumbers Conference
proposal submission site and target it to the Kernel Summit track:

        https://lpc.events/event/19/abstracts

Please do both steps.  I'll try to notice if someone forgets one or
the other, but your chances of making sure your proposal gets the
necessary attention and consideration are maximized by submitting both
to the mailing list and the web site.

The program committee this year is composed of the following people:

Christian Brauner
Jon Corbet
Greg KH
Ted Ts'o
Rafael J. Wysocki
