2.6 Kernel Migration: A Kernel Hacking Perspective

In this presentation we will cover the changes in 2.6 kernel that impact 
kernel developers and those who write applications that interface directly 
with kernel sub-systems.  Topics will include new driver APIs, revamped APIs, 
the preemtible-kernel, and a close look at the new Linux Driver Model and the 
accompanying sysfs interface. Even if you're not a kernel person, this might 
be of interest if you want to learn a bit more about kernel hacking or the 
upcoming 2.6 kernel.

The meeting is sponsored by MontaVista Software, Inc. and pizza and pop will 
be provided.
