Hi everyone,

with LPC approaching, I'd like to share a few logistic notes and guidelines
for the microconference.

- Check the schedule: the final agenda is available here, if your assigned
slot doesn't work, please let me know and we can try to adjust it:
https://lpc.events/event/19/sessions/229/#20251212

- Session length: each slot is 15 minutes (18 minutes in practice, to
allow smooth speaker transitions).

- Be concise: aim for 1–2 introductory slides to set the context, then
dive directly into the core topic.

- Prioritize interaction: the microconference is discussion-driven, make
sure to leave enough time for Q&A and audience participation.

- Expect interruptions: it's perfectly fine (and actually ideal) if you
don't reach the last slide because questions spark conversation, so make
sure to put your key points at the beginning of the deck.

- Share work-in-progress: talks should not present polished or finalized
work, instead, focus on open issues and opportunities for collaborative
brainstorming around kernel development.

Looking forward to seeing you in Tokyo next week!

Thanks,
