Ladies and Gentlemen,
would anyone around be interested in attending a workshop on basics of finding and debugging (and eventually fixing) common issues with Linux kernel?
Topics I'd initially cover would include leveraging in-kernel debugging facilities, techniques for capturing debug output from various crashes, understanding the captured data, and modifying, building and loading the altered kernel code with more debugging code or an actual fix.
Basically the only requirement would be knowing some C.
It seems to me that trendy's workshop's proved to be a rather good idea so I've decided to go ahead with this one.
There's some rough version of the slides on the wiki now so that you can see whether the outline lies within your area of interest. I'll update it as time permits. Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvements.
I've also added some date/time suggestions and would be very thankful if you could edit the wiki page with your time preference (even if any time is fine for you).

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! Lubo
