Linus Torvalds Got Confused About 'When and Where' Maintainer's Summit Is Going To be Held, So Organizers Moved the Entire Conference (linuxfoundation.org)
From The Linux Foundation's mailing list: Last Friday (just before Labor Day) I learned that Linus had gotten confused about when and where the Maintainer's Summit was going to be held this year. And most unfortunately, he has already scheduled a family vacation overlapping with the week of the Maintainer's Summit. Over the weekend, I've been conferring with folks from the Linux Foundation, Linus, and the Maintainer's / Kernel Summit program committee. We explored a lot of options, but ultimately there were only two choices that were workable:
1) Have the Maintainer's Summit in Vancouver, without Linus.
2) Move the Maintainer's Summit to Edinburgh, with Linus.
Curiously enough, Linus suggested option #1. And while holding the Maintainer's Summit without Linus might be an interesting experiment, ultimately, the Program Committee had a strong consensus that moving it Summit to Edinburgh was the better option.
This means that the Maintainer's Summit will take place in Edinburgh, on Monday afternoon, October 22nd. As a reminder, the Maintainer's Summit is an invite-only workshop, with ~30 people attending. The focus of the Maintainer's Summit is process and development issues, *not* technical issues. The Kernel Summit track will still be held in Vancouver alongside Plumber's. Technical discussions will take place there; we simply won't have the time, or necessarily, the right people, to have technical discussions at the Maintainer's Summit.

(Clip from HBO's "The Newsroom")
It used it be. And can be again.
Wake me up when:
* music, home economics, shop, and finance are mandatory classes in school again,
*we stop teaching math by rote which kills all curiosity in the subject,
* we stop idolizing sport stars and actors who make millions -- who will be forgotten in a few decades and instead have more and better Teachers who struggle to make a decent wage
* we stop spending Billions fighting another man's rich war
* we stop the insanity of Imaginary Property and the obnoxious duration
* we stop corporations hijacking culture for the sake of profit
* we stop the visual pollution of advertising
* we stop tracking everything fucking thing a person does and selling the data to the highest bidder
* we take security breaches serious and enforce fines for when personal information is hacked / stolen
* we stop censoring people who think different
* etc.
