- 27 Rejected
- 7 Waiting List

Move to "Clarification Needed":
- #1386 - Efficient JTAG-baseed Linux Kernel Debugging

Meego [edit section]
Tim wrote:
FYI on Meego talks in the CFP: Please note that 3 meego talks that we approved (set to 'y') currently have status "New" (talks #1242, #1313, and #1375). One Meego talk which we intended to waitlist (#1318) (set to 'm') also has status "New". I think these are OK - we'll let LC decide the fate of these. I mention these, because if they go into an LCE track, it means we have 4 more slots available in ELCE. 2 other meego talks (#1185 and #1255) have status "Rejected" and "New" respectively.

Number of talks [edit section]
This results in total: 6*2 + 9*3 + 3 keynotes = 39 regular + 3 keynotesIf we have parallel keynotes, and program regular talks parallel to the LC keynotes, we can add 9 or 12 slots. (35-51 slots total)
