Hi,

several people have expressed interest of talking to me about the
scheduler during the RTLWS/KS/LinuxCon.EU time-frame. Since I've just
about lost track of who all wanted to talk about what and who can and
can not make it out to Prague I need help ;-)

Also, since I'm too dis-organized (and mostly busy) to really arrange
something, can someone volunteer to arrange a BOF or cafe with beer to
discuss things?

The topics I'm most interested in are:

- power optimized load-balancing;
do packing based on cpu utilization
fix the current interface of sched_{mc,ht}_power_savings

- integration of the cpufreq/idle governors and the scheduler
use the idle guestimate for NO_HZ
use $foo for $prev-topic to reduce double accounting etc.

- what can we do about the cgroup crap and how can we win some
of the performance back;
start with fixing the cgroup enabled but unused case
continue from there..

definitely count me in for that.

I won't be in for KS, just linuxcon, and I am busy on Wed 26th.
I believe Steve Roasted's (*) suggestion is a sane one: Many of us
will be in other meetings during this time frame, so maybe is saner to find a free slot in the conference agenda.

(*) not a typo
