Mini-summit proposal: '''Linux Kernel Containers Developer Summit'''
== Topic ==
Namespaces, containers, cgroups, and container checkpoint/restart.
== Description ==
Development for namespaces and cgroups is well underway in the
upstream kernel. To keep momentum going and keep the loosely
knit teams of developers well-coordinated, a physical meeting in
which to discuss future development plans is needed.
Additionally, we are at a point where crucial decisions about
the nature of a "container object" and about the checkpoint/restart
design need to be made.
A final set of topics will be decided upon through mailing lists
ahead of time, but potential topics include:
* Handling filesystem/namespace synchronization
* Handling of /proc and /sysfs within containers
* Additional needed namespaces (i.e. Device namespace)
* Nature of a 'container' — kernel object or userspace fiction
* Additional cgroups and their design
* How to initiate and synchronize checkpoint/restart
== Moderators ==
{{Out|These are just suggestions, please edit or let us know if you do or do not want to moderate.}}
Namespaces/containers: Serge Hallyn
cgroups: Paul Menage
Checkpoint/restart: Dave Hansen
== Expected Time Required ==
One day.
== Number of Attendees ==
Approximately 30.
== Technical Requirements ==
* Projector and screen
* whiteboard
* network access
* power for laptops
