Summit preview: Pick your favorite sessions

With two weeks to go before this year’s Red Hat Summit, preparations are in full swing here at Red Hat Magazine. Several members of our team are getting packed for Boston, and we’re all getting ready for the Summit content that will soon be coming our way.

And that leads us to a question for you. What would you like to see?

There’s no way for us to catch every session and talk that happens–there’s simply too many–but we do try to bring back as much as we can. Summit sessions cover eight tracks and over a hundred topics, from open source legal issues to Linux deployment to partner tech talks. Whether we bring back audio, video, or just slide decks and author articles, we hope to show you just what makes our yearly conference so special.

Take a look at our track and keynotes listing, and then a deeper dive into the full Summit session schedule. Which talks would you like to see? Which speakers interest you most?

We polled our staff and compiled a short list of what we’d like to see:

1. Joel Cohen keynote (read our interview with Cohen, a producer for The Simpsons)

2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Kernel Performance Optimization – Part I (session talk by John Shakshober and Larry Woodman)

3. Why Computers Are Getting Slower (And What We Can Do About It) (session talk by Rik Van Riel)

4. Fedora 9 Overview and Demonstration (session talk by Bill Nottingham)

5. The Virtualization Toolbox. Open Source Solutions for Managing Virtual Environments (session talk by Dan Berrange and Rich Jones)

6. Managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux in a Virtual World with RHN Satellite (session talk by Todd Sanders and Cliff Perry)

7. Dynamic Grid Computing With MRG & Amazon EC2 (session talk by Bryan Che)

Agree? Disagree? Tell us what you would like to see. Leave a comment below. (Or, if you’re too shy, send us a private note.)

We’ll tally up your requests and use them to help us decide what to film.
