Hi, the Kernel Summit and Maintainer's Summit is attached below.  The
sessions are subject to change; the authoratative version will be
available at:

	https://goo.gl/xUT5Er

Note that there are unconference slots available; if you are
interested in dynamically scheduling one of those slots, please send
e-mail to ksummit-discuss with "[UNCONFERENCE]" in the subject line
proposing a talking and preferred time slot.

There are still two empty maintainer's session slots.  There were a
few expressed topics that had some interest --- including two for
"feature ABI gates".  However, Linus has said, "No, no, no."  If
people want to try to convince him otherwise, feel free to jump on
that thread on ksummit-discuss from mid-August[1]...
