Both me and Kirill Korovaev, our kernel team leader, will be in Ottawa, Canada next week, taking part in Linux Kernel Developers Summit and then Ottawa Linux Symposium. Well, in fact it is only Kirill who will be participating in the kernel summit, since I am not a kernel developer.
Both events are really interested. Kernel Summit is the place where all the top-notch kernel hackers decide on the future of Linux — and one of the topics this year will be OS-level virtualization. Linux Symposium is one of the best Linux conferences out here, is highly technical, with a lot of interesting talks, sessions, and tutorials. “Virtualization guys” such as Eric Biederman, Jeff Dike, Ian Pratt, Cedric Le Goater, Dave Hansen, and Serge Hallyn will all be there.
Five years ago, in 2001, our kernel developer Andrey Savochkin was there at the “Linux 2.5 Kernel Summit”. Here is a nice description of that event, including a group picture (Andrey is a guy in a light brown sweater, standing in between Linus Torvalds and Eric Raymond; if you still can’t find him, here is the annotated photo).
