After a Thanksgiving hiatus, and just in time for Christmas, the next Linux Kernel Debugging Tools meeting is tomorrow, Wednesday, December 20th at 11:30 AM Pacific time. This meeting is a forum to discuss development of Linux kernel debugging tools like drgn, crash, and more.

The agenda so far is:

- Debrief on the Plumbers microconference. Should we do it again next year? If so, what do we want to do differently (or the same)?
- drgn updates
- 0.0.25 release:
https://drgn.readthedocs.io/en/latest/release_highlights/0.0.25.html.
- Default program/optional prog first impressions?
- Adding built-in commands to drgn
(https://github.com/osandov/drgn/pull/367): if we go down this route, how can we bridge the gap between commands and drgn scripting so that it's easy for crash converts to adopt the fancier drgn features?
- Dealing with -gsimple-template-names for C++.
- Omar's plans for next year: module API, QEMU/gdbstub integration.

Please reply with anything else you'd like to add. As always, if you would like to attend, please email me offlist.

P.S. I've been busy with production issues for the last few weeks, so apologies to everyone waiting on my code review :(

Thanks!
Omar
