Let’s dive into another one of the accepted Microconferences for Linux Plumbers Conference 2014: Network Management. The pervasive use of networking by household appliances, sensor networks, manufacturing equipment, and even automobiles is posing quite a few challenges to network management. (Do you know which DNS server your car is using?) That said, one of the […]
The LPC 2014 Planning Committee is pleased to announce the acceptance of 3 more Microconferences to this year conference!

We also want to remind everyone that the LPC 2014 Planning committee is still reviewing […]
Let’s resume our series of in-depth looks at the LPC 2014 Microconference lineup by discussing the Real Time microconference. Ten years ago, many people asserted that it was not possible to achieve real-time latencies on a general-purpose OS such as Linux. This microconference will see some of OSADL’s long-term testing data that show just what […]

Welcome to today’s segment about our accepted LPC 2014 Microconferences. This LPC 2014 microconference drives yet another nail in the coffin for the outdated idea that file and storage systems are a mature technology. Persistent memory technologies offer yet another profound increase in throughput and decrease in latency, which is forcing additional change in software […]
Welcome to the first write up in our new series of approved LPC 2014 Microconferences. Enjoy! Although there are some of us old enough to remember a time when an automobile was primarily a mechanical artifact, these days it more closely resembles a datacenter on wheels. In fact, it has gotten to the point that […]
We are pleased to announce that four new Microconferences were added to the Linux Plumbers Conference 2014 line up! They are: Automotive, File and Storage Systems, Network Management and Real Time. For more details please see the Topics Page on the LPC 2014 wiki. Congratulations! Look for more postings with detailed descriptions of each Microconference. […]
Here is another in the series of LPC 2014 Microconferences in-depth write ups. Enjoy! Wireless networking has long since become ubiquitous, and the Linux kernel is a major player for this technology, especially given the ability of many smartphones to connect to wireless networks (see http://wireless.kernel.org). This microconference will address a number of important topics, […]
Welcome to a new installment of our series describing the LPC 2014 Microconferences. The Wayland compositor is used in a variety of environments, ranging from automobiles to smartphones. Its usage is currently primarily in embedded environments, however, it is well on its way to enjoying broad desktop support. This increased interest from desktop environments is […]
