Hello All, The Linux Test project has been in existence for many years, and, the benefits of this Project has been well established. However, due to several reasons the developers/stakeholders of this project has never meet face to face. Hence, i would like to propose a Mini Summit for LTP on the sidelines of the OLS 2009, scheduled to be held at Montreal, Canada, July 13th-17th, 2009 (http://www.linuxsymposium.org/2009/). The proposal for mini summit has been accepted in principle by the OLS committee. Since, there are no specific summit/meet/conference for LTP developers, this is a very good opportunity for LTP developers to meet side-by-side the OLS, as many of them will be coming to attend/present in the OLS. We can meet and discuss various issues relating to LTP in the same meet, some of them being: i) Presentation/discussion by developers/testers/users on various issues on test infrastructure/environment/test cases. Here we plan to abreast ourselves with several of such issues, and, somebody can take the responsibility for those line item(s), ii) Presentation/discussion by developers/testers/users on what they contributed to LTP, and, what they plan to do in near/far future, iii) Presentation/discussion by Maintainer of the present situation of LTP, and, what he might expect from the community to take this forward, iv) Presentation/discussion by Maintainer on how to increase LTP penetration in other areas (archs, etc) of Linux testing, like the Z-linux, embedded hardware, etc, v) How best to leverage on Project Collaboration like Crackerjack to LTP porting of tests, vi) Other proposals(if any) from the community is also to be discussed. I have discussed this with Andrew J Hutton of OLS committee. He has agreed in principle to lend us a room/accessories to conduct the Mini Summit, provided there are enough attendance of a minimum of 10 people. If all/some of you agree and feel that it would be great for all of us to meet, and we have the enough nos. i can talk to Andrew to confirm a berth for us. Please feel free to propose new agenda and comment on the proposed agenda. Regards-- Subrata |
