We are pleased to announce that the Distribution Kernels Microconference
has been accepted to the 2019 Linux Plumbers Conference. This is the
first time Plumbers has offered a microconference focused on kernel
distribution collaboration.

Linux distributions come in many forms, ranging from community run
distributions like Debian and Gentoo, to commercially supported ones
offered by SUSE or Red Hat, to focused embedded distributions like
Android or Yocto. Each of these distributions maintains a kernel,
making choices related to features and stability. The focus of this
track is on the pain points distributions face in maintaining their
chosen kernel and common solutions every distribution can benefit from.

Example topics include:
	- Backporting kernel patches and how to make it easier
	- Consuming the stable kernel trees
	- Automated testing for distributions
	- Managing ABIs
	- Distribution packaging/infrastructure
	- Cross distribution bug reporting and tracking
	- Common distribution kconfig
	- Distribution default settings
	- Which patch sets are distributions carrying?

"Distribution kernel" is used in a very broad manner. If you
maintain a kernel tree for use by others, we welcome you to
come and share your experiences.

Here[1] is a list of proposed topics, if you have a topic you'd like to
present, please contact Laura Abbott <labbott at redhat.com>

LPC[2] will be held in Lisbon, Portugal from Monday, September 9 through
Wednesday, September 11.
