OLS2007

Tomorrow morning, a colleague of mine sets for Ottawa to attend at Ottawa Linux Symposium, 2007. I really wanted to be there too. But, this time, his turn, and I'm looking forward to seeing the colleague being touched off very much. :)

BTW, while looking at the time table of the symposium this year, I was grabbed by one presentation, "GANESHA: A Multi-Usage Large Cache NFSv4 Server" by Philippe Deniel.

Well, Ganesha is one of the most popular Hindi deities.
You can find several pictures in Wikipedia.
Yes, actually she looks like a pink elephant. :o

The colleague is very familiar with NFS architecture, and I hope he will enjoy the presentation.

Here is a brief list of the presentations I want to hear.

• "Keeping Kernel Performance from Regressions" by Tim Chen
• "Why Virtualization Fragmentation Sucks" by Justin M Forbe
• "Ptrace, Utrace, Uprobes: Lightweight, Dynamic Tracing of User Apps" by James A. Keniston
• "Kernel Scalability: Expanding the Horizon Beyond Fine Grain Locks" by Corey D Gough
• "KDDM: A Generic Basis For Distributed Kernel Infrastructure" by Renaud Lottiaux
• "Precise Process Accounting: Improving CPU Utilization in the Linux OS for Mission Critical Environments" by Mario Smarduch
