[ANNOUNCEMENT] LPC 2025 sched_ext Microconference CFP

[Andrea Righi]

We are pleased to announce the Call for Proposals (CFP) for the sched_ext
track at the 2025 edition of the Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC), taking
place in Tokyo, Japan, from December 11–13, 2025:

 https://lpc.events/event/19/sessions/229/

This microconference provides an opportunity for the community to discuss
upcoming sched_ext development and outline future strategies for improving
integration within the Linux ecosystem.

Topics suggested for discussion include (but are not limited to):
 - Use of BPF arenas for task/CPU context sharing between kernel, BPF, and
   user space
 - Composable schedulers / scheduler libraries
 - Deadline server(s) for the SCHED_EXT class
 - Integration with other scheduling-related features (RCUs, proxy
   execution, PREEMPT_RT, etc.) and other Linux subsystems (e.g., power
   management, Rust-for-Linux, etc.)
 - Workload-optimized schedulers (GPU/AI, gaming, server, ...)
 - Tickless scheduling
 - Tools and benchmarks to analyze and understand scheduler activities

Proposals can be submitted here:

 https://lpc.events/event/19/abstracts/

Note that the primary purpose of a microconference talk is open discussion,
not formal presentations. Slides should be brief and only provide context.
Each 15-30 minute topic is intended to encourage brainstorming and discuss
open issues, not necessarily to resolve them.

For any questions, feel free to contact the microconference leads:
 - Andrea Righi <arighi@xxxxxxxxxx>
 - Joel Fernandes <joelagnelf@xxxxxxxxxx>
 - Daniel Hodges <hodgesd@xxxxxxxx>
 - Changwoo Min <changwoo@xxxxxxxxxx>

We look forward to your proposals!
