Thanks Shuah!
Presumably I should still submit the talk on the website (however, it looks like the Testing Microconference isn't available as a track option yet...)? Or is it okay if I just post the proposal here?
Also, for the framing of the talk (assuming people are indeed interested). I figure people will want an intro along with some background context, and a discussion of future work. Nevertheless, would people like more of a demo talk or more of an audience driven discussion on where we should go and what we should do? Or something else? Really, I am open to talk about whatever everyone else wants.
For context on KUnit, you can read the LWN article about it here[1], or you can see the current version of the patchset here[2].
Thanks!
