Hi, I am working on Crackerjack project. Both in Portland and in OLS seem to be difficult, I think. I prefer Plumbers, because as Greg said developers from libc to kernel would join this meeting, and other test project would join Plumbers.. LTP has a lot of layers of test cases, I think Plumbers would provide good opportunity to talk with them.
I am also starting to have Test summit in this October in Japan. Because Kernel Summit followed by 3 days Conference will be held in Japan, I think this is a good opportunity that test engineers, especially who are located in Asian area, can talk / discuss with Kernel Engineers. So, my idea is having Test Summit in both Portland and Japan. What about this idea ?
