	* What is a Scheduler?
	* Process Scheduler Introduction
	* I/O Scheduler
	* Multitasking/Types
		*Co-operative Multitasking
		*Preemptive Multitasking
	
II	Process Scheduler(sched.c)	20 mins
	* Types of Processes
		*CPU bound
		*I/O bound
	* Process Priority
	* Timeslice

III	Scheduling Algorithm		20 mins
	*O(n) Scheduler 2.4 kernel Scheduler
	*O(1) Scheduler 2.6 kernel Scheduler
	*Basic Datastructure for the Scheduler

I need feedback from the community on the topics
covered and if they 
want any additional topics to be included.

If people feel its too long, I can split the session
into two parts and 
I/O can be discussed on the next week.

Regards,
Toufeeq Hussain

PS: I'm no kernel hacker :), I'll however try to
implement code walkthroughs within the talk.
