The Linux Plumbers Conference (LPC) is a developer conference for the open source community. The LPC brings together the top developers working on the “plumbing” of Linux – kernel subsystems, core libraries, windowing system, etc. – and gives them three days to work together on core design problems. The conference is divided into several working sessions focusing on different “plumbing” topics, as well as a general paper track.
Unlike the talks in the working sessions, which discuss work still in the design or implementation phase, submissions to the paper track may (but are not required to) discuss work that is completed or has reached a logical stopping point. Submissions to the paper track may address any technical topic related to the Linux software ecosystem. Preference will be given to proposals presenting a reasonable solution to a well-known or little-recognized problem, rather than just a problem description on the one hand or a presentation of work already completed on the other.
Submission format
LPC invites paper proposals in the form of extended abstracts. All proposals will be reviewed by the LPC Technical Program Committee. The extended abstract may be up to 500 words and should include your qualifications to speak about the topic, an overview of the topic, and why the topic will appeal to a technical audience.
Proposals are due by July 19th, and should be submitting via:
http://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2010/ocw/events/LPC2010/proposals
Please note that proposals will be subject to an open peer review; that is, the proposals are public, and anyone may make comments to the technical program committee regarding the proposals.
Acceptance notifications will be sent during the week of August 18th.
Final Papers (or Slides) are due on October 22, 2010.
