[Ksummit-2012-discuss] [ATTEND] NVIDIA education, and embedded architectures

I would love to attend the kernel summit this year. Firstly, I imagine that I should show up in person to accept the award that Linus gave us a few days back:-) Things I'd be interested in talking about are: * Within the constraints I have, what should I and perhaps other NVIDIA employees be contributing to in the kernel? In a Google+ comment, Linus noted that we have mainly been contributing patches for Tegra SoC infra-structure details. I'm curious what other areas people might expect me/NVIDIA to contribute to. I assume the issue is mainly the lack of open support for the graphics-related parts of our HW, but perhaps there's some expectation that we'd also start helping out some core area of the kernel too? Would that kind of thing help our image even if we didn't open up our HW? * Are there any new/novel ideas I could take back to NVIDIA to help persuade any kind of opening up? I'd be happy to feed anything interesting up the chain. * Unrelated to all that, I'm generally interested in any kind of architecture discussions related to embedded-style boards, e.g. the best device/data/API structures for representing complex boards without enumerable buses, modular boards (MFD-style objects that represent whole plugin boards?), interactions with device tree, etc. I'd personally love to be more involved in areas such as these, although I usually find it difficult to make time to be. * Finally, anything related to ARM architecture support, since that's most directly related to my Tegra maintainership responsibilities. Thanks!
