Byron, I think the presentation you gave a few years back was superb. It didn't delve into anything as specific as I/O sceduling or mutexes. It was more of a high level "this is what a kernel module is, here are the basics of writing a module, and here's how you get your module into the kernel." I'm not sure what the average level of expertise is among the current body of UUGers, but that type of presentation might be a little more accessible than some of the more complicated and esoteric topics.
I know Byron's a fountain of knowledge--maybe folks with specific questions or a yearning to dig deeper into advanced topics could stick around afterward? -Brent On May 30, 2009, at 6:35 AM, Byron Clark <[email protected]> wrote: > I've been asked to give an "Introduction the Linux Kernel" > presentation > for the UUG on July 9th.
