    Time Event
    3:17p
    Gorman: LSF/MM 2014 so far
    Mel Gorman, chair of the 2014 Linux Storage, Filesystem, and Memory
    Management Summit notes
    that the CFP deadline is approaching     and that the event is shaping up
    nicely. "I am pleased to note that there are a number of new people
    sending in attend and topic mails. The long-term health of the community
    depends on new people getting involved and breaking through any perceived
    barrier to entry. At least, it has been the case for some time that there
    is more work to do in the memory manager than there are people available to
    do it. It helps to know that there are new people on the way.    "
    Anybody wanting to attend who has not yet sent in a proposal should not
    delay much further.

    (The first) Debian init system vote concludes
    The vote called for by Debian technical committee chair Bdale Garbee has
    reached its conclusion: the winning option is "further discussion
    required." The vote was torpedoed by the lack of language saying that the
    result could be overridden by a simple majority vote by the community on a
    general resolution. Committee members are working on a new vote now that
    will have such language, but which will still lack much of the detailed
    language found in early draft ballots. Stay tuned.
